SourceModeling Device Capabilities for Analytics
Netflix has developed a comprehensive device capability data model to track and manage which features can be supported across its diverse ecosystem of devices.
Why it matters
This allows Netflix to ensure performance and reliability by only enabling features that a specific device's hardware can handle, preventing poor user experiences.
The details
- A cumulative table captures the latest state of each device's hardware capabilities.
- A histogram table tracks active device counts over the past 28 days.
- The model analyzes feature reach for 4K Ultra HD, Spatial Audio, and Cloud Gaming.
