Abstract:
The present disclosure provides for improved computational efficiency in systems used to provide content over a network. Hybrid content sourcing is enabled to provide content via a Content Distribution System (CDN) and a centralized service in conjunction with one another via a single URL provided to client devices. A hash map is updated and provided to the client devices to allow a tenant to control and change how content is distributed without needing to modify the applications or multiple content items that are used by the client devices. Tenants are thereby enabled to include or exclude the CDN as an available source of content without disrupting operation of the centralized service or the client devices. Individual content assets or libraries of content assets may thereby be interchangeably provisioned via a single Uniform Resource Locator.
