  • Publication number: 20200133656
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a system includes a processor coupled with a data store, the at least one processor configured to: receive a client product version number from a client device; identify a differential bundle based on a difference between the client product version number and a current product version number, wherein the differential bundle comprises a set of bytewise differences between an executable client product binary file associated with the client product version number and a executable current product binary file associated with the current product version number; determine whether the differential bundle is available in the data store; retrieve the differential bundle from the data store in response to determining that the differential bundle is available in the data store; produce the differential bundle in response to determining that the differential bundle is not available in the data store; and send the differential bundle to the client device.
