I’ve often wondered this as well. It seems like the amount of client core data is really small, like fit into a single payload small, and changes very infrequently (a small subset maybe a few times on a busy day).
Are custom listings/ordering the blocking issue that takes several seconds to load when the app starts? There’s so much amazing low level work that I’ve read from the Netflix streaming team, but the front end has always seemed lacking (why can’t I easily just get a list of all the videos)? It effects how I use the app?
- thimabi 3y ago> why can’t I easily just get a list of all the videos Most likely that’s less a technical decision than a business decision, so that you never realize the true extent of Netflix’s catalog.
- jonhohle 3y agoIt’s obviously not a technical decision. Rights holders wouldn’t allow them to stream anything beyond their contract and I’m sure they have at least one team responsible for making sure videos are only available during the contract period.
