When executed by the processor, an application stored in the memory may cause the processor to perform a plurality of operations. A beacon may be embedded in the application. When the application is executed by the processor, the beacon may cause the processor to establish a direct connection with a remote system comprising a storage database, gather data indicative of at least one of the plurality of operations as specified by at least one beacon microservice, and send the data through the direct connection to store the data in the storage database.

A system and method for retrieving and writing data based on data write latency. The system may include a switchboard configured to connect to a beacon integrated into an end user application stored on a computer, a customer configuration database, and one of a plurality of infrastructure pools chosen based on the customer configuration database. The switchboard receives extracted data from the beacon and writes the extracted data to the chosen infrastructure pool. The method may include… Show more

Methods and systems for coordinating provisions of storage service for clients are provided. For each storage provider of a set of storage providers, a service-provider database stores a metric characterizing a property of a service provided by the service provider. The storage providers are independently owned and operated relative to each other. The metrics are repeatedly updated. A selection engine repeatedly selects a service provider from the set of service providers to store a content… Show more

Methods and systems for coordinating provisions of storage service for clients are provided. For each storage provider of a set of storage providers, a service-provider database stores a metric characterizing a property of a service provided by the service provider. The storage providers are independently owned and operated relative to each other. The metrics are repeatedly updated. A selection engine repeatedly selects a service provider from the set of service providers to store a content object of a client of the content delivery system. The selection is based on the repeatedly updated metrics for the set of service providers. For each service provider selected by the selection engine to store the content object of the client, a service manager coordinates with the service provider such that the service provider stores the content object of the client.

A method for generating and delivering highlight versions of content for special case delivery through a Content Delivery Network (CDN) may include storing and distributing content in response to user requests using a plurality of edge servers, the plurality of edge servers being organized into a plurality of geographically distributed Points of Presence (POPs) in the CDN comprising a first POP that stores first content. The method may also include receiving a request for the first content and directing the request for the first content to the first POP. The method may additionally include automatically determining that the request for the first content originated from a mobile device and in response, providing a limited portion of the first content to the mobile device, wherein the limited portion of the first content comprises less than the first content.

Systems and methods are provided for streaming content over the Internet via a CDN to an end user system. Requests from end user systems for streaming content objects being handled by the CDN are tracked to identify, for each request the tracked requests, a first content object being requested. For each request of the tracked requests, a category of the requested first content object is identified. The identified category is stored. Aggregated data indicating an amount of requests being for… Show more

Systems and methods are provided for streaming content over the Internet via a CDN to an end user system. Requests from end user systems for streaming content objects being handled by the CDN are tracked to identify, for each request the tracked requests, a first content object being requested. For each request of the tracked requests, a category of the requested first content object is identified. The identified category is stored. Aggregated data indicating an amount of requests being for content objects with a specific category is generated. A prediction is made that a second content object will be requested in the future based on the aggregated data and a category of the second content object. Access to the second content object is improved such that the second content object is set to be provided faster in response to a request for the second content object than would otherwise occur.

Aspects of the present invention include a method of dynamically routing requests within multiple cloud computing networks. The method includes receiving a request for an application from a user device, forwarding the request to an edge server within a content delivery network (CDN), and analyzing the request to gather metrics about responsiveness provided by the multiple cloud computing networks running the application.

Aspects of the present invention include a method of dynamically routing requests within multiple cloud computing networks. The method includes receiving a request for an application from a user device, forwarding the request to an edge server within a content delivery network (CDN), and analyzing the request to gather metrics about responsiveness provided by the multiple cloud computing networks running the application. The method further includes analyzing historical data for the multiple cloud computing networks regarding performance of the application, based on the performance metrics and the historical data, determining an optimal cloud computing network within the multiple cloud computing networks to route the request, routing the request to the optimal cloud computing network, and returning the response from the optimal cloud computing network to the user device.
