Systems and methods for governing client-side services

A method for managing, by an intermediary between a first and second client device and a server, client-side services incorporated into a client-side application or a web application, the method comprising:

• identifying a first operation performed by a first instance of a client-side service executing on a first client device, the identified first operation causing an anomaly in the execution of the first instance of the service;
• and
• causing the delay, removal or modification of a second operation corresponding to the identified first operation, the second operation performed by a second instance of a client-side service executing on a second client device.

A device in communication with a server and two clients for managing client-side services incorporated into a client-side application or web application, the device comprising:

• a metadata processor detecting an anomaly in the execution of a first instance of a client-side service executing on a first client device and identifying a first operation performed by the first instance of the client-side service causing the detected anomaly;
• and
• a mitigation component causing delay, removal or modification of a second operation, corresponding to the identified first operation, the second operation performed by a second instance of the client-side service executing on a second client device.
