1. A method comprising:
estimating, using a model executed by a processing device, a number of access requests for one or more future videos, posted via a target group of one or more channels, to be received within a target time after posting;
determining, by the processing device, an adjusted number of access requests for the one or more future videos, based at least on:
a number of access requests received, within a reference time after posting, by one or more past videos posted via a reference group of one or more channels, and
a number of access requests that the one or more past videos are estimated, by the model, to have received within the reference time after posting; and
allocating, by the processing device, one or more computational resources to the target group of channels based at least in part on the adjusted number of access requests for the one or more future videos.
