🎬 Friday Film Night! 🎬 How Netflix keeps us glued to the screen? 🤔 With a typical attention span of just 90 seconds, they've got some clever tricks up their sleeve! Here are 4️⃣ ways Netflix uses caching to hold your attention! 1️⃣ Lookaside Cache: When you're watching your favourite show, Netflix first checks its EVCache for the data you need. If it’s not there, it fetches it from the backend. This means you get seamless streaming without interruptions! 2️⃣ Transient Data Store: Ever wonder how Netflix remembers where you left off? They use EVCache to track playback sessions, ensuring your experience is smooth and personalised. 3️⃣ Primary Store: Each night, Netflix runs massive computations to curate a unique homepage for every user based on your watch history. All this data is efficiently managed in EVCache, making your browsing experience quick and relevant. 4️⃣ High Volume Data: Netflix has data that has a high volume of access and also needs to be highly available. For example, UI strings and translations that are shown on the Netflix home page. So, the next time you binge-watch your favourite series, remember: Netflix is working hard behind the scenes to keep you engaged! 🍿 #Netflix #Streaming #SystemDevelopment #Cache #Tech #WeekendVibes
