  • Entity-sticky-routing ranking feature prefetch in microservice architecture
    Patent number: 11503127
    Abstract: Techniques for performing prefetching for a ranking service in a microservice architecture are provided. In one technique, in response to receiving a content request, an entity identifier of an entity associated with the content request is determined, a host of a second service that is different than the first service is determined. The first service sends the entity identifier to the host of the second service. The second service retrieves entity feature data that is associated with the entity identifier. The first service identifies a set of content delivery campaigns, identifies the host of the second service, and sends the identity of the set of content delivery campaigns to the host of the second service. The host of the second service determines a ranking of the set of content delivery campaigns, a subset thereof is selected, and data about each selected campaign is transmitted over a computer network.
