A new case study examines how madvertise is using the Aerospike real-time database utilizing hybrid DRAM and flash memory to manage 25 billion page impressions each month while handling queries within milliseconds and maintaining 100% uptime. The full madvertise case study is available at: http://www.aerospike.com/why-aerospike/customers.
madvertise enables agencies and clients to effectively target their audiences and achieve the best campaign results with innovative mobile campaigns. At the heart of its platform works a unique piece of technology, the madvertise Decision Engine (RDE). madvertise´s RDE enables efficient delivery of innovative, highly targeted mobile advertising campaigns to audiences on mobile devices using RTB inventory. Additionally, madvertise provides solutions for agencies and sales houses offering intelligent campaign formats, inventory management, and performance optimization.
madvertise Case Study
The new case study discusses the challenges specific to mobile advertising and examines the competitive evaluation that led madvertise to choose the Aerospike database. It also discusses how Aerospike developed an asynchronous Java API, enabling both madvertise’s mobile application and the Aerospike database to multitask more efficiently in order to maximize responsiveness. Key benefits that madvertise has realized with Aerospike include:
- Enables predictable real-time processing of 25 billion-plus mobile page impressions per month while scaling linearly to support hundreds of thousands of queries per second (QPS).
- Asynchronous Java API allows both the mobile application and database to multitask, eliminating unnecessary wait times and speeding responses.
- Aerospike’s Evictor feature supports time-to-live (TTL) values by automatically deleting expired data to maximize database efficiency and performance.
- Aerospike’s scalability, 100% uptime, and predictable behavior enable madvertise to maintain its service-level agreements (SLAs).
“We have been very pleased that the Aerospike database has performed as advertised without any drops. It was refreshing to see the very sane behavior of the Aerospike database in many cases where the other systems had behaved erratically,” said Martin Karlsch, madvertise co-founder and CTO. “Based on the rapid expansion of our business, we expect that our data management needs will grow by a factor of two to three by the end of the year, and Aerospike clearly will be central to our expansion.”
“madvertise is a one of the premier providers of solutions for mobile advertising in Europe, with a successful business model that has enabled the company to grow 130% in the last year alone,” said Brian Bulkowski, Aerospike founder and CTO. “We are excited by madvertise’s success in implementing our Aerospike real-time database to predictably meet its SLAs with customers, as well as provide the proven performance, efficiency and scalability to support operations that are expected to more than double again in 2013.”
