About our client

They embraced the Cloud-First spirit by being 100% hosted on AWS from the beginning and they are using over 50 services to create a cutting-edge technology solution.
The challenge
Nowadays, Ad Tech companies have to handle huge traffic volumes to deliver Ads. They focus on high quality Ads by controlling traffic and bidding on partner programmatic platforms. This strategy reduces the payout per Ad request and therefore limits the revenues of the company. Learning user behaviors and optimizing traffic quickly became inevitable, so they gathered a R&D team to build Machine Learning algorithms.
The solution
User data is processed using an Amazon EMR cluster, running every month and processing tens of billions of user events. Amazon S3 is the primary choice for storing raw data (hundreds of terabytes). An Amazon EC2 instance, packaged with Machine Learning libraries, uses the monthly generated dataset to update the currently trained model and prepare a blacklist, that is loaded in Amazon DynamoDB for high traffic reads.
The benefits
- The ML algorithm detects and filters 60% of total traffic being not relevant. The R&D team continuously improves its accuracy.
- AWS infrastructure costs are reduced by 45%. The company is reinvesting this money into new services and quality improvements.
- Ads get rendered 7x more often, meaning users have a better experience while watching ads in mobile applications.
- Higher Ad partner trust and Ad revenues. A direct impact is a visible growth in partner integrations and market visibility.
