AdTech & Media
Some industries forgive a bugThis one doesn't
AdTech & Media sets the rules before you write a line.When milliseconds decide revenue, an ad system that almost works quietly loses money.
Real-time auctions
The auction is over in 100 milliseconds
Systems here clear millions of OpenRTB auctions per second inside a sub-100ms bid window, while buyers and sellers count every impression against each other
The things that are never allowed to fail
- 01Bid within the timeoutA response after the exchange's 80–120ms window is a lost impression, not a late one
- 02Consent before the callNo bid request leaves without a valid TCF string and lawful basis for each vendor
- 03IVT filtered pre-auctionBots, spoofed inventory and datacenter traffic are rejected before spend is committed, not refunded after
- 04Impressions reconcileBuyer, seller and ad-server counts must converge within tolerance or billing is disputed
- 05Brand safety at request timeEvery placement is classified for content and adjacency before a creative is allowed to serve
