Abstract: Dynamic transcoding can be used to provide supplemental content, selected to be played during breaks in a stream of primary content, that has the same format as the primary content. It can be desirable to provide supplemental content that is personalized. This may include additional content or advertising that may be of interest or relevance to a viewer. In many instances, the supplemental content will come from a different source and thus can be in a different format. Approaches in accordance with various embodiments can take advantage of dynamic transcoding of the supplemental content to provide properly formatted supplemental content through the same stream as the primary content. A custom manifest can be provided to the media player that points to the transcoded supplemental content. At an appropriate break in the playback, the media player can use the manifest to obtain the formatted supplemental content.

Abstract: One or more publish control-plane components (PCCs) of a data store determine that operation records (ORs) indicative of operations performed on a data object are to be published via a durable log publisher. The PCCs assign, for a particular publish session of one or more publish sessions established for the data object, an OR submitter to transmit ORs associated with the data object from a designated buffer to the durable log publisher. The OR submitter transmits a particular OR to the publisher, and the publisher replicates the particular OR at nodes of a DAG (directed acyclic graph). Contents of the OR are provided by the publisher in response to a read request.
