Approaches are disclosed for managing aspects of content delivery in a multi-tenant environment. A request buffer can be used to remove correlations between requests and randomly shuffle requests without storing all the requests concurrently. A shuffle sharding algorithm can be used to randomly allocate a subset of resources to different users in order to ensure less than a maximum risk of one user impacting the use of all resources allocated to other users. In some embodiments, separate fleets of resources can be maintained for manifests and video segments to allow for more accurate scaling and customization. Multiple manifests can also be associated with a single endpoint to allow multiple media players to obtain similar content segments from the single endpoint.

Shuffle-based request buffer for managing large request volumes

Methods and systems for improved failover techniques are described herein. A failure associated with a content source may lead to a computing device becoming unable to output all or part of content that was requested from the content source prior to the failure. The computing device may have received a portion of a manifest associated with the content prior to the failure. The failover techniques described herein may enable the computing device to continue receiving portions of the content despite the failure. For example, an additional portion of the manifest may be modified such that the computing device may request additional portions of the content from another content source without requiring a retuning procedure.
