This bottleneck hindered our ability to provide timely optimizations for ad campaigns. To address these issues, we needed a solution that could handle rapid data ingestion and querying at scale without the overhead of traditional refresh processes. In this talk, we’ll share how we transformed our reporting infrastructure to achieve real-time insights, enhancing speed, scalability, and efficiency in managing large-scale ad performance data.
