  • Latency optimization for online service feed
    Patent number: 11334566
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for reducing latency for providing a user feed containing one or more posts. One method includes operations for receiving a request to access the user feed and for performing a first query to search posts. The first query uses a first time horizon delimiting a creation time of posts and a first maximum number of posts selected for ranking. The posts from the first query are sent to the client device for presentation on a user interface. Further, a second query is performed to search posts, where the second query uses a second time horizon that is greater than the first time horizon and a second maximum number of posts for ranking that is greater than the first maximum number of posts. The posts from the first query and the second query are merged and sent to the client device for presentation.
