Systems and methods for tracking velocity information. One system includes an application execution server providing an application layer. The application execution server is configured to receive a request including metadata. The application execution server is also configured to generate and transmit a response to the request. The application execution server is also configured to enrich the metadata by structuring the metadata for further processing by a data processing layer, where the further processing includes determining velocity information associated with the metadata, and by supplementing the metadata with available historical velocity information. The application execution server is also configured to transmit the enriched metadata for further processing by the data processing layer.
