Cumulative and histogram tables capture device capabilities, active device counts, software versions, and feature support, helping teams measure feature reach and make more granular enablement decisions. ### Source excerpt by Aarti Laddha, Richard Diaz-Cool, Rishika Idnani, Venkatesh Selveraj Netflix supports a vast and evolving set of features and content types, ranging from 4K streaming and immersive audio to live streaming and cloud gaming, across a diverse ecosystem of devices. However, not all devices are created equal. Hardware limitations such as available RAM, CPU cores, display capabilities, or platform support mean that some features cannot be supported on certain device models. To ensure the best possible user experience, we rely on a deep understanding of device capabilities. We have invested in building a comprehensive device capability data model and integrating feature flags from internal systems, paving the way for smarter, more granular feature management across our global device landscape. This approach helps us identify bottlenecks in feature penetration and accelerates the pace of innovation. We have designed our data storage and modeling strategies to efficiently support analytics at scale. We use a cumulative table to process information about the device's capabilities. This table is structured to efficiently capture the latest state of each device and its associated capabilities (like Screen resolutions, Video Profiles Supported, Surround Sound, RAM size etc) making it ideal for analytics and reporting use cases. { "Screen Height": ["720"], "Screen Width": ["1280"], "Video Profiles": [ "playready", "hevc", ], } For aggregate analytics, we leverage a histogram table that captures active device counts over the past 28 days, broken down by device model and software version. This table also records the number of devices supporting specific capabilities, enabling detailed distribution analysis. One use case for this histogram data is to analyze the distribution of external display capabilities attached to streaming sticks. For example, the histogram below shows that out of total X number of devices, all supported the HD profile (playready), while only 20% devices sup ## Transforming Game Discovery with Instant Play Experiences on Discord DevFeed: [Transforming Game Discovery with Instant Play Experiences on Discord]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Discord Published: 2025-08-18T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Discord Blog]() Topics: [Discord](), [Cloud Gaming](), [Nvidia](), [GeForce](), [Cloud](), [pc]() Tags: [cloud-gaming](), [developers](), [discord](), [gamescom](), [gaming](), [geforce](), [graphics](), [integration](), [nvidia](), [partner](), [pc](), [performance]() ### AI overview Discord and NVIDIA are partnering to bring GeForce NOW cloud-streamed gaming directly to Discord, beginning with a Fortnite demonstration at gamescom.

It covers graphics encoding, SSD storage, OpenVPN, AMIs, Spot instances, and estimated operating costs, with notes about internet requirements and client compatibility. ### Source excerpt Playing Witcher 3, a GPU-intensive game on a 2015 fanless Macbook I've written about using EC2 as a gaming rig in the past. After spending some time and getting all sorts of feedback from many people, I'm re-writing the article from before, except with all the latest and greatest optimizations to really make things better. Now we're using things like NvFBC for graphics card H.264 encoding, using the built-in SSD for better hard drive performance, plus getting rid of things like VNC. I've also made the OpenVPN instructions easier to follow. This is the perfect solution for you fanatics that love to play AAA games but are stuck with one of the new fan-less Macbooks (or similarly slow machines). This is a pretty awesome alternative to building out a new gaming PC. Just make sure you have a good internet connection (ideally 30mbit+ plus <50ms ping to the closest Amazon datacenter). This article will assume you're on a Mac client, though it should work on Linux or Windows with some minor changes in the client tools. TLDR: I have made an AMI for you to use such that you don't need to go through this lengthy step-by-step. Note you become less of a badass if you use the AMI instead of doing it yourself ;). See instructions below. Costs Believe it or not, it's actually not that expensive to play games this way. Although you could potentially save moneys by streaming all your games, cost savings isn't really the primary purpose. Craziness is, of course. :) $0.11/hr Spot instance of a g2.2xlarge $0.41/hr Streaming 10mbit at $0.09/GB $0.01/hr EBS storage for 35GB OS drive ($3.50/mo) You're looking at $0.53/hr to play games this way. Not too bad. That's around 1850 hours of gaming for the cost of a $1000 gaming PC. Note that prices vary for different datacenters. Creating your own AMI with the right config On AWS, create a new EC2 instance. Use defaults everywhere except as mentioned below: Base image should be Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Base (since Windows still has all t ## Run your own high-end cloud gaming service on EC2 DevFeed: [Run your own high-end cloud gaming service on EC2]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2015-04-12T07:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Larry Land]() Topics: [Amazon EC2](), [Cloud Gaming](), [Amazon Web Services]() Tags: [aws](), [cloud-gaming](), [ec2](), [gaming](), [gpu](), [ssd]() ### AI overview A tutorial on using an AWS EC2 GPU instance with Steam In-Home Streaming to play high-end games remotely over the Internet. It discusses estimated instance, data transfer, and storage costs, latency and bandwidth requirements, and suggested EC2 setup options. ### Source excerpt NOTE: This article has been superseded by my more recent one here How to use EC2 GPU machines + Steam In-Home Streaming + a VPN to play AAA titles on a shitty laptop You might have tried a service like the now defunct OnLive. Though personally I've played and beat many AAA games on the service, it unfortunately a) had a very limited selection and b) is now gone. I also have a bunch of games on Steam that I've played using my eGPU. With the new Macbook though, I won't be able to continue my low-end-laptop but high-end gaming extravaganza since there's no Thunderbolt. So why am I not concerned? Steam recently introduced In-Home Streaming, which basically creates a mini-OnLive in your own home with all the same Steam games I played with my eGPU. But... let's do it over the Internet! Cost Playing games this way is actually quite economical - especially when comparing to purchasing a full-on gaming rig. Here are the costs you'll need to consider: GPU Instance runs about $0.11/hr (on a Spot instance, regularly around $0.70/hr) Data transfer will be around $0.09/GB, and at a sustained ~10mbit, itll cost you $0.41/hr (4.5GB/hr) Updated Apr 25: Hard drive (EBS General Purpose SSD) storage of 100GB is $12.00/mo, or a bit under $0.02/hr This comes out to around $0.54/hr (Updated Apr 25), not bad, for the cost of a $1000 gaming pc, you get ~1900 hours on much higher-end hardware! The catch? This is all fun and games, but you need to make sure of two things: You are within 40ms to the closest AWS datacenter (test here) and has GPU instances (Updated Apr 25 brought this up from 20ms, many people reporting it's just fine at slightly higher latencies) You have at least a 10mbit connection and it's unmetered Setting it up On AWS, create a new EC2 instance. Use these settings: Base image should be Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Base (since Windows still has all the best games) Use a g2.2xlarge instance (to get an NVIDIA GRID K520 graphics card).
