Disclosed are various embodiments for predictive caching of content to facilitate instantaneous use of the content. If a user is likely to commence use of a content item through a client, and if the client has available resources to facilitate instantaneous use, the client is configured to predictively cache the content item before the user commences use. In doing so, the client may obtain metadata for the content item from a server. The client may then initialize various resources to facilitate instantaneous use of the content item by the client based at least in part on the metadata.

Predictive caching for content

Disclosed are various embodiments for predictive caching of content to facilitate use of the content. If account is likely to commence use of a content item, the content item is cached before the use is commenced. The cache may be divided into multiple segments with different content selection criteria.

Segmented predictive caching for content

Disclosed are various embodiments for client-side predictive caching of content to facilitate use of the content. If account is likely to commence use of a content item through a client, the client is configured to predictively cache the content item before the use is commenced. In doing so, the client may obtain an initial portion of the content item from another computing device. The client may then initialize various resources to facilitate use of the content item by the client. The client-side cache may be divided into multiple segments with different content selection criteria.

Client-side predictive caching for content

A lightweight throttling mechanism allows for dynamic control of access to resources in a distributed environment. Each request received by a server of a server group is parsed to determine tokens in the request, which are compared with designated rules to determine whether to process or reject the request based on usage data associated with an aspect of the request, the token values, and the rule(s) specified for the request. The receiving of each request can be broadcast to throttling components for each server such that the global state of the system is known to each server. The system then can monitor usage and dynamically throttle requests based on real time data in a distributed environment.

Disclosed are various embodiments for client-side predictive caching of content to facilitate instantaneous use of the content. If a user is likely to commence use of a content item through a client, the client is configured to predictively cache the content item before the user commences use. In doing so, the client may obtain metadata for the content item and an initial portion of the content item from another computing device. The client may then initialize various resources to facilitate instantaneous use of the content item by the client based at least in part on the metadata and the initial portion. The client-side cache may be divided into multiple segments with different content selection criteria.
