Abstract: Techniques for generating a personalization identifier that is usable by a skill to customize output of supplemental content to a user, without the skill being able to determine an identity of the user based on the personalization identifier, are described. A personalization identifier may be generated to be specific to a skill, such that different skills receive different personalization identifiers with respect to the same user. The personalization identifier may be generated by performing a one-way hash of a skill identifier, and a user profile identifier and/or a device identifier. User-perceived latency may be reduced by generating the personalization identifier at least partially in parallel to performing ASR processing and/or NLU processing.

Abstract: Devices and processes perform a metrics aggregation process within the context of a serverless compute environment that includes a fleet of execution environment containers for executing ephemeral functions. In response to receipt of triggering events, functions, registered to handle the events, are launched in separate execution environments of an event-driven compute service. The functions generate metrics that are sent to the execution environment via a call (e.g., via asynchronous call) to the execution environment, and the functions may retire, without saving execution state for the function, and before the execution environment passes the metrics to an intermediate metrics aggregation service. The metric aggregation system receives the metrics generated by the fleet of instances of the function from the plurality of execution environments of the event-driven compute service, batch processes the metrics into an aggregated record, and transmits the aggregate record to a metrics reporting service.
