Powering Great Marketing & Advertising Platforms

Adobe
Adobe migrated its CQ web content management service to AWS using “many sizes” of EC2 Instances and Amazon Elastic Block Store.

Nielsen
Nielsen built a cloud-native local television rating platform capable of storing 30 petabytes of data in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and leveraging Amazon Redshift, AWS Lambda, and Amazon EMR.

The Trade Desk
"There’s much more agility. We’ll do more iteration in a single week than what we would do in a full year with a managed, physical site.”
- Zak Stengel, Senior Vice President, Engineering, The Trade Desk.

NextRoll
“We are excited to adopt AWS Graviton2–based EC2 M6g and C6g instances for our web server and stream processing workloads built on Erlang, Go, and Java. We have observed up to 50 percent total cost savings over our previous generation EC2 instances for these workloads. Much more savings and fewer instances needed with higher performance.”
- Valentino Volonghi, CTO, NextRoll

Salesforce DMP
“Acquired and scaled a global customer base without any concern about the limitations on the amount of data it can process. Our platform captures data from interactions from three billion devices and about 40 billion page views each month.”
- Roopak Gupta, VP, Software Engineering, Salesforce DMP

Zeta Global
"Uses Amazon Neptune to map 450M requests per day into 1B user profiles that they use for people-based targeting and audience enrichment. “By leveraging [Amazon] Neptune and other AWS services, we were able to achieve a cost-efficient data platform at scale in a very short period of time.”
- Sasikala Singamaneni, Engineering Manager, Zeta Global

DataXu
An on-premises IT infrastructure created cost and scale issues, so DataXu turned to AWS to run its big data processing platform. The result is cost savings of up to 72 percent a month, a greater reach into a customer base that spans 50 countries, and the ability to process 86 billion messages daily using Amazon Kinesis.

Quantcast
By using Amazon EC2 Spot Instances for its critical business systems, Quantcast reduced its operational costs in several ways, including saving up to 60 percent for its QCLearn machine learning system, and spending about 25 percent less on Amazon EC2 Spot Instances than it would have on Amazon EC2 reserved instances for its real-time bidding solution. "As we roll out more infrastructure to AWS, Amazon EC2 Spot Instances are helping us control costs and scale our systems to meet demand.”
- Leah Blank, Senior Systems Engineer, Quantcast
