A content item may be associated with a first metadata object comprising static data and dynamic data. The static data and dynamic data may be stored in memory. Based on a request for the content item, the static and dynamic data may be retrieved, and may be used to cause output of a second metadata object.

Dynamic and static data of metadata objects

According to some aspects described herein, content and service providers in a media delivery network may provide improved recommendations and/or personalize a user's experience based on the real-time activity of that user as well as other users. In this way, ever increasing amounts of content may be optimally managed in a way that provides users with the improved and/or personalized experience.

Real-time recommendations for altering content output

Aspects described herein relate to processing metadata requests using a cache. For example, a metadata object, such as a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object, may be processed into two or more portions. The two or more portions or data generated based on the two or more portions may be stored into a cache. After receiving a request for the metadata object from a computing device, the metadata object may be generated based on the data stored in the cache and the generated metadata object may be transmitted as a response to the request for the metadata object. Further aspects relate to personalizing the metadata object at the cache prior to transmitting the response to the request for the metadata object. Further aspects relate to updating a portion of the metadata object, such as a portion that includes dynamic data, prior to transmitting the response to the request.
