US Patent 10986065 Cell-based distributed service architecture with dynamic cell assignment

Systems and methods are described for dynamically assigning data sets to cells within a cell-based architecture, in which individual cells individual cells operate independently of one another within the cell-based architecture. In response to a request to create a data set on the cell-based architecture, a system can dynamically assign the data set to a cell based on cell information, which can reflect cell health, utilization, configuration, and the like. The system can create a record that associates the data set to the selected cell, such that subsequent requests to access the data set can be routed to the selected cell based on the record. Dynamic assignment of data sets to cells improves on fixed assignment techniques, for example, by enabling heterogeneous cell configuration.
