Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for implementing global optimization of a service-oriented system are disclosed. Trace data is collected for a plurality of service interactions between services in a service-oriented system. Respective costs are determined for a plurality of configuration options in the service-oriented system. An optimized configuration for the service-oriented system is determined based on the respective costs and the trace data. The optimized configuration comprises a selection of one or more of the configuration options. The optimized configuration is deployed to the service-oriented system.

Abstract: Techniques are described for employing precomputed results of applying rules to content items, the rules applicable to determine whether content items may be electronically published. On receiving a request for a content item, rules applicable to the content item may be identified. A datastore of precomputed results of rule application may be accessed to determine whether the datastore includes a result of applying a current or previous version of each rule. If the datastore includes a current result, the current result may be employed in determine whether the content item may be presented. If the datastore includes a previous result, the previous result may be so employed. If the datastore includes a previous result or no appropriate result, a job may be queued to calculate the current result asynchronously relative to the request for the content item.
