Werner Vogels' Fireside Chat with Valentino

Grant Toeppen Written by Grant Toeppen, April 22, 2014

Better late than never, but we wanted to share a video from last fall’s AWS re:Invent conference where our own chief architect Valentino Volonghi shared the stage with Amazon CTO Werner Vogels for a fireside chat. Valentino discusses AdRoll’s use of DynamoDB, one of the core technologies we leverage to build our real-time bidding system that handles more than 50 billion bid requests per day.

The resulting system is a highly-reliable, low-latency, seamlessly scalable framework that allows AdRoll to crunch data, determine a bid-price, and select an ad to serve within a 40ms auction window. So pull up a seat with Valentino and Werner and learn how AdRoll does all this while spending less on DynamoDB than we do on snacks.
