    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for using dynamic shipping options. A method may include receiving a request to add a first product to a virtual shopping cart of a first user; determining a first delivery fee for a first order comprising the first product; generating user interface data indicative of the first delivery fee and with which the first user may input a first offered delivery fee; presenting the user interface data; receiving a first user input indicative of the first offered delivery fee offered by the first user; determining that a coincident delivery fee discount based on the first order and a second order is less than a delivery fee threshold including delivery fee discounts of the first offered delivery fee and of a second offered delivery fee of the second order; initiating a first purchase of the first product a second purchase of the second product.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of apparatuses and methods for transaction processing at edge servers in a content distribution network (“CDN”) are described. In some embodiments, an edge server receives an initial request from a client for content associated with a particular origin, and then provides the content to the client. The edge server can then receive another request from the client that might include an indicator for transaction processing. The edge server determines that transaction processing is indicated for handling this new request, in some embodiments. The edge server can then send a transaction notification to the origin, receive a transaction continuation response from the origin, and then execute a data transaction with transaction entities that are distinct from the content distribution network and the origin, in some embodiments. If the transaction is successful, the edge server can notify the client and the origin of the successful transaction, in some embodiments.

    Abstract: A content delivery network (“CDN”) is provided herein that predicts content resources (e.g., a data object, such as a video file, an audio file, a script, an image, a document, etc.) that may be requested by a user device in the future and transmits or pushes such resources to the user device prior to receiving a request. The CDN may use artificial intelligence models, such as Markov models, in order to predict which content resources to retrieve and transmit proactively to the user device. The predictive techniques implemented by the CDN may reduce a latency of delivering requested content resources and/or a latency of the user device in rendering and displaying a content page.

    Abstract: System and methods are provided estimating long-term effects of system changes associated with a user interface without conducting long-term testing. In a first deployment region, a system change is released during a time period. A second deployment region does not have the system change released in the same time period. Historical data is received from both deployment regions associated with the time period. The user interface analysis system determines features from the historical data and determines a synthetic control sub-group from those features that correspond to features for a sub-group in the first deployment region. The user interface analysis system calculates a control outcome metric for the control sub-group and calculates an effect metric as a difference between a first outcome metric for the sub-group from the first deployment region and the control outcome metric.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a system is provided, and computer-executable instructions cause the system to: obtain, at an edge server of a content delivery network, a request for a content item from a client device; determine that the there are multiple versions of the first content item that require varying amount of resources to serve including a first version, and a second version requiring more resources to serve than the first version; select the second version; send the second version; determine that the client device is not properly rendering the second version of the content item; and in response to determining that that the client device is not properly rendering the second version, send the first version.

    Abstract: Techniques for using one or more satellites as a part of a content delivery network are described. For example, in some instances a satellite of a cluster of satellites is to receive a request for a resource hosted by the content delivery network; determine that the request for the resource cannot be served by the cluster of satellites; determine a first entity to ask for the resource; send a secondary request for the resource to the determined first entity; receive the resource from the determined first entity; and respond, to a user of the content delivery network, to the request using the received resource for the resource.
