A computer implemented method for updating a host application with an individual feature includes operations for pinging a server via an installer associated with the host application on a client device to obtain information regarding one or more available features, downloading a feature from one or more available features from the server to the client device, and updating, via the installer, the host application with the feature.

Application service requests received by an application hosting framework are automatically differentiated and categorized, and resource usage patterns associated with the requests are predicted. Resource usage data points are successively extracted from the hosting framework. Elements of an initial resource usage pattern matrix are computed from the data points. An estimate for the number of categories of requests is computed from the initial resource usage pattern matrix, where the requests in each category have similar resource usage patterns. Elements of a resource usage signature matrix and request categorization matrix are computed from the estimate for the number of categories of requests and the initial resource usage pattern matrix.
