Abstract
At a bid determination platform, an initial sequence having an initial order of software steps for filtering advertisements in response to receiving an advertisement bid request is selected. Until a trigger event occurs, the initial sequence of software steps is implemented in the initial order in response to receiving advertisement bid requests. Implementing the initial sequence comprises automatically tracking a failure (or success) metric and resource requirement metric for each of the software steps. After the trigger event occurs, a first optimum sequence of the software steps is automatically selected in a first optimum order so as to optimize a total resource usage for execution of the software steps. Selecting the first optimum sequence of the software steps in the first optimum order is based on the tracked failure (or success) metric and resource requirement metric for each of the software steps during implementation of the initial sequence.
