Abstract
Techniques for committing back end computing resources to an online stream of requests for data from client devices are described herein. A polling schedule server (e.g., a reservation management system), may receive polling reservation requests from a plurality of client devices, may evaluate each client device's need for “fresh” data based on a number of input signals, and may assign the client device a polling slot (e.g., a reservation for a future polling time). The polling scheduler server may subsequently receive a polling request from a client device and, upon validating a token received from the client device as well as a difference between an assigned polling time and the polling request timestamp, may grant the polling request by transmitting a request to one or more communication system servers, receiving data from the communication system servers, and providing the data to the client device.
