Aerospike’s State-of-the-Art Database Now Supports Tapad’s Breakthrough, Cross-Platform Advertising Technologies

Aerospike’s NoSQL database and key-value store delivers predictable, sub-millisecond query response times

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – Tapad, the largest provider of groundbreaking, cross-platform advertising technologies, now employs Aerospike’s real-time NoSQL database and key-value store to reliably manage the company’s massive quantities of data.

Offering a first-of-its kind ad tech solution, Tapad handles some 150 billion ad impressions each month and delivers targeted advertising campaigns to consumers across multiple devices, including nearly 2 billion smartphones, tablets, PCs and smart TVs. Aerospike’s powerful decision engine delivers millisecond query response times for Tapad campaigns, enabling them to meet a narrow, 25-millisecond window for responding to online opportunities with 100% uptime, even during system upgrades.

Key benefits of the Aerospike database and key-value store include:

  • Predictably processes queries within sub-milliseconds 95% to 99% of the time, even while handling 50,000 queries per second, per server.
  • Provides automatic rebalancing and fault-tolerance, ensuring that there is no degradation to performance even during upgrades and hardware backups and restores.
  • Minimizes IT overhead via flash-optimization and cost-effective use of industry-standard hardware.

“Our business demands real-time, predictable, consistent performance,” said Tapad Co-founder and CTO, Dag Liodden. “The predictability of Aerospike is what makes the difference. With Aerospike, there are no surprises, and in our business, that’s a crucial metric.”

“Tapad is a major force in enabling advertisers to reach consumers across devices,” said Aerospike Founder and CTO Brian Bulkowski. “We are thrilled that Tapad has chosen to work with Aerospike, and we’ve already seen terrific success enabled by predictable, sub-millisecond performance.”
