Reddit Delivers Real-Time Analytics for Ad Campaign Performance

“By using Apache Druid and Imply, we can ingest multiple events straight from Kafka and our data lake, ensuring advertisers have the information they need for successful campaigns in real time.”
Shariq Rizvi  |  EVP of Ads Monetization  Reddit

Summary

Reddit generates tens of gigabytes of event data per hour from advertisements on its platform. To let advertisers both understand their impact and decide how to target their spending, Reddit needed to enable interactive queries across the last six months of data—hundreds of billions of raw events to slice and dice in real time. To do this, they turned to Druid and Imply.

Highlights

  • 2-3x faster queries, from 2s to subsecond
  • Accelerated time-to-value with Imply Pivot
  • Improved system availability to 99.9%
