AdTech Europe

How does the platform handle millions of requests per second?

The platform is built to scale from thousands to millions of requests per second, according to the technology page.

The building blocks

  • Real-time event streaming with Apache Kafka.
  • In-memory and real-time data stores: Aerospike and Redis.
  • Fast analytics at billions of rows with ClickHouse.
  • Resilient networking and high-performance storage.
  • Capacity that grows with your traffic.

Filtering before work is done

A lot of scale comes from not doing unnecessary work:

  • Pre-bid filters refuse bad requests before any money moves.
  • Traffic shaping on the ADX stops sending requests that no partner bids on.
  • Per-partner limits keep one partner from flooding the rest.

Monitoring

The platform is monitored around the clock (24/7). Hosted plans aim for 99.9% monthly availability of the bidding and ad-serving systems, published on status.adtech.eu.

How QPS affects price

  • DSP and DMP: no QPS fees and no QPS limits.
  • Rented SSP or ADX: up to 25,000 QPS for $500 a month, 100,000 QPS for $1,900, 150,000 QPS for $2,900.
  • License or source code: no QPS limits; bandwidth is paid to your hosting provider.
