Implementations of this disclosure are directed to systems, methods and media for assessing the status of data being stored in distributed, cached databases that includes retrieving, from a data cache, variables which include a cache loss indicator and a non-null value. The variables are analyzed to determine a state of the cache loss indicator. If the cache loss indicator indicates an intentional cache loss state, the cache loss indicator is removed and the non-null value is provided to an application. Otherwise, a cache restore process is initiated.

Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to a computer-implemented method, a system, and an article for managing updates to environment objects within an online application. The method can include, for example, updating, by one or more computer processors on a server, an environment object for use within an online application on a client device to create an updated environment object, and transmitting, by the one or more computers processors on the server, a message to the client device using the online application that the environment object has been updated. A determination is made that the client device requires the updated environment object, and, based on the determination, the updated environment object is transmitted to the client device.
