Abstract

A system and method are provided for provisioning code snippets for programming a content delivery network. The method includes receiving a first client code snippet from a first client. The first client code snippet includes identity information of origin servers, standard responses for network requests, and configuration parameters to configure programmable content delivery nodes to respond to the one or more network requests. The method also includes publishing the first client code snippet to a snippet library, and indexing the first client code snippet in the snippet library. The method also includes receiving, from a second client, a request for a second client code snippet. The method also includes selecting a subset of client code snippets stored in the snippet library. The method also includes rendering identification information for the subset of client code snippets, and outputting a selected client code snippet from the subset of client code snippets.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

loading, onto a first plurality of edge servers of a programmable content delivery network, a first client code snippet of a first client, wherein the first client code snippet comprises identifiers of a first set of origin servers of the first client and a first standard response;
for a first time period, buffering first network requests for first content of the first client and responding to the first network requests according to the first standard response;
based on expiration of the first time period, sending the buffered first network requests to corresponding ones of the first set of origin servers;
and
based on receipt of responses from the first set of origin servers, reconfiguring the first plurality of edge servers to respond to network requests for the first content of the first client based on the responses from the first set of origin servers.

2 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code stored thereon, the program code comprising instructions to:

configure an edge server of a programmable content delivery network based on a first client code snippet of a first client, wherein the first client code snippet comprises identifiers of a first set of origin servers of the first client and a first standard response;
for a first time period, buffer first network requests for first content of the first client and respond to the first network requests according to the first standard response;
based on expiration of the first time period, send the buffered first network requests to corresponding ones of the first set of origin servers;
and
based on receipt of responses from the first set of origin servers, reconfigure the edge server to respond to network requests for the first content of the first client based on the responses from the first set of origin servers.

2 more elements

A programmable content delivery network comprising:

a plurality of edge servers, each of the plurality of edge servers comprising a processor and a computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by the processor to cause the edge server to,
load a first client code snippet of a first client, wherein the first client code snippet comprises identifiers of a first set of origin servers of the first client and a first standard response;
for a first time period, buffer first network requests for first content of the first client and respond to the first network requests according to the first standard response;
based on expiration of the first time period, send the buffered first network requests to corresponding ones of the first set of origin servers;
and
based on receipt of responses from the first set of origin servers, reconfigure the edge server to respond to network requests for the first content of the first client based on the responses from the first set of origin servers.
