Excerpt: The Netflix API is the front door to the Netflix Streaming service and is used to power hundreds of devices. The API is handling over 2 billion requests a day (over 35,000 requests per second at peak times). By some accounts, Netflix is responsible for more than 30% of the US bandwidth during prime time (http://bit. ly/m1DIPP). The growth of the API is integral to our long-term strategy as it enables us to rapidly innovate on new Netflix scenarios and support new devices. Because we serve as the integration point for a large number of middle-tier services, while being the interface to a variety of devices on the front-end, we are constantly evolving our infrastructure to help us strike a balance between agility and innovation.... read the full post.

The Netflix Tech Blog: Python at Netflix
techblog.netflix.com
on 03/11/2013
Excerpt: We’ve blogged a lot about how we use Java here at Netflix, but Python’s footprint in our environment continues to increase. In honor of our sponsorship of PyCon, we wanted to highlight our many uses of Python at Netflix. Developers at Netflix have the freedom to choose the technologies best suited for the job. More and more, developers turn to Python due to its rich batteries-included standard library, succinct and clean yet expressive syntax, large developer community, and the wealth of third party libraries one can tap into to solve a given problem. Its dynamic underpinnings enable developers to rapidly iterate and innovate, two very important qualities at Netflix.... read the full post.

Netflix kills third party app platform, current apps will continue to work
mobile.theverge.com
on 03/09/2013
Excerpt: In a blog post with the understated (to say the least) title "Changes to the Public API Program," Netflix has announced that it's shutting down its public API program. Effectively, that means that no new apps that take advantage of the data Netflix used to provide — for example, for searching for new shows and movies to watch — will be possible. Netflix director of engineering, Daniel Jacobson, writes that "existing and active affiliates" will still have access to Netflix's APIs, so any third-party apps you currently use should still work as normally.... read the full post.

The Netflix Tech Blog: Netflix Queue: Data migration for a high volume web application
techblog.netflix.com
on 02/16/2013
Excerpt: There will come a time in the life of most systems serving data, when there is a need to migrate data to a more reliable, scalable and high performance data store while maintaining or improving data consistency, latency and efficiency. This document explains the data migration technique we used at Netflix to migrate the user’s queue data between two different distributed NoSQL storage systems. The Netflix Queue lets you keep and maintain a list of the movies & TV shows you want to watch on your devices and computers.
Netflix embraces Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) composed of many small fine grained services that do one thing and one thing well.... read the full post.

The Netflix Tech Blog: Reactive Programming at Netflix
techblog.netflix.com
on 01/17/2013
Excerpt: Hi, my name is Jafar Husain. I'm a Senior Developer on the TV User Interface team. Over the last year, Netflix has reinvented our client-server interaction model. One of the key building blocks of our platform is Microsoft's open-source Reactive Extensions library (Rx). Netflix is a big believer in the Rx model, because Rx has made it much easier for us to build complex asynchronous programs. Asynchronous Programming is Hard
Events and AJAX requests are sequences of values that are pushed from the producer to the consumer asynchronously. The consumer reacts to the data as it comes in, which is why asynchronous programming is also called Reactive Programming.... read the full post.

The Netflix Tech Blog: Optimizing the Netflix API
techblog.netflix.com
on 01/16/2013
Excerpt: About a year ago the Netflix API team began redesigning the API to improve performance and enable UI engineering teams within Netflix to optimize client applications for specific devices. Philosophies of the redesign were introduced in a previous post about embracing the differences between the different clients and devices. This post is part one of a series on the architecture of our redesigned API. One of the key drivers in pursuing the redesign in the first place was to reduce the chatty nature of our client/server communication, which could be hindering the overall performance of our device implementations.... read the full post.

on 06/25/2012
Excerpt: Articles have been cropping up that lambast Craiglist (1, 2), Netflix (1) , and LinkedIn (1) for policing their APIs and criticize them for stifling innovation. API access is not a charitable offering to the start-up community for these obviously for-profit companies. The goal of any company who offers an API to their data is to build a eco-system that promotes lock-in and added benefits for their service, not to help other companies profit and take advantage of their hard work. I agree with some of the criticisms that point out the inconsistency of these companies enforcement of their terms of service.... read the full post.
