A system for providing a web service on a network of addressable nodes, said web service comprising a plurality of discrete, individually-addressable microservices, said system comprising: (a) at least one load balancer configured for routing a request from a node for a microservice to one of a plurality of virtual addresses, each virtual address corresponding to a unique microservice, and (b) one or more physical nodes associated with each virtual address, each physical node comprising one or more microservices, each microservice comprising a microservice-specific module for executing a particular function, said microservice-specific module linked to an interface for communicating over said network, each microservice being one of a plurality of individually-addressable microservices constituting a web service.

Web service system and method

Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses are described for sending different update times corresponding to a same version of a resource. A computing device may provide a version of a resource in response to requests from a plurality of different devices, and may indicate different update times for the version of the resource. The different update times may be based on times associated with the requests from the plurality of different devices.

Providing and using different update times for a resource

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for managing concurrent requests from clients for services. Client computing devices may be permitted to use available capacity beyond their associated thresholds. If a total quantity of current connections associated with a service is greater than or equal to a total connection threshold, connections with a client exceeding its connection threshold may be closed. A request for a new connection from another client may be granted based on closing the connections.

Adaptive capacity management of connections associated with a service

Methods and systems for network communication are disclosed. Proxy information may be received. The proxy information may facilitate a gateway device communicating as a proxy for a user device.

Trusted communication session and content delivery

A secure content delivery or access method may include coordination among three devices such as servers&#x2014;a content management server, a delivery server, and an authorization server. A request for content may originate from an authorization server application, and may involve the application obtaining two digitally signed tokens for the request. The first token may be from the authorization server, and may include a content management server identifier for the requested content. The second token may include two identifiers for the content: the first identifier being the content management server identifier, and the second being a delivery server identifier. The first and second tokens may be signed by the authorization server and content management server, respectively, and may be delivered to the delivery server for validation. Successful validation may result in the delivery server providing a content decryption key for the requested content to a device requesting the content.

Secure content access authorization

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for managing concurrent requests from clients for services. Client computing devices may be permitted to use available capacity beyond their assigned quotas. When backpressure exists and/or when a total quantity of current connections associated with a service is greater than or equal to a total connection threshold, connections with a client exceeding a proportion of excess capacity may be closed before connections with a client not exceeding a proportion of excess capacity.

A content network is presented where at least one of non-personalized data commonly applicable to a user base and personalized data is maintained. In an aspect, each element of the personalized data may be applicable to at least one, but less than all, of users within the user base. The non-personalized data may be stored across a plurality of servers included in a group, and the personalized data is stored across at least one, but less than all, of the plurality of computing devices included in the group. An update to data stored may be received and a determination made as to whether the update to data is to the non-personalized data or the personalized data. Then, one of the non-personalized data or the personalized data set stored in the server may be updated.

Personalized content delivery architecture

Systems and methods for managing device controls are disclosed. One method can comprise determining an orientation of a controller and comparing the orientation of the controller and an activation orientation. If the orientation of the controller substantially matches the activation orientation, a control relationship between the controller and the user device may be automatically activated, and if the orientation of the controller does not substantially match the activation orientation, control options to a user of the controller.

Systems and methods for controlling devices

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for managing concurrent requests from clients for services. Client computing devices may be permitted to use available capacity beyond their assigned quotas. When backpressure exists, connections with a client exceeding a proportion of excess capacity may be closed before connections with a client not exceeding a proportion of excess capacity.
