| 10 | contextually matches ads and displays them in different template forms on | ||
| 11 | variety of websites. This project grew from serving thousands of ads per day to | ||
| 12 | millions.<p>The system is made from couple of core components:<ul><li>API for serving ads,<li>Utils - cronjobs and queue management tools,<li>Dashboard UI.</ul><p>Initial release was using <a href=https://www.mongodb.com/>MongoDB</a> for full-text | ||
| 13 | search but was later replaced by <a href=https://www.elastic.co/>Elasticsearch</a> for | ||
| 14 | better CPU utilization and better search performance. This provided us with many | ||
| 15 | amazing functionalities of <a href=https://www.elastic.co/>Elasticsearch</a>. You should | ||
| 16 | check it out if you do any search related operations.<p>Because the premise of the server is to provide native ad experience, they are | ||
| 17 | rendered on the client side via simple templating engine. This ensures that ads | ||
| 18 | can be displayed number of different ways based on the visual style of the | ||
| 19 | page. And this makes JavaScript client library quite complex.<p>So now that you know basic information about the product lets get into the | ||
| 20 | lessons we learned.<h2 id=aggregate-everything>Aggregate everything</h2><p>After beta version was released everything (impressions, clicks, etc) was | ||
| 21 | written in nanosecond resolution in the database. At that time we were using | ||
| 22 | <a href=https://www.postgresql.org/>PostgreSQL</a> and database quickly grew way above | ||
| 23 | 200GB in disk space. And that was problematic. Statistics took disturbingly long | ||
| 24 | time to aggregate. Also using indexes on stats table in database was no help | ||
| 25 | after we reached 500 million datapoints.<blockquote><p>There is a marketing product information and there is real life experience. | ||
| 26 | And the tend to be quite the opposite.</blockquote><p>This was the reason that now everything is aggregated on daily basis and this | ||
| 27 | data is then fed to Elastic in form of daily summary. With this we achieved we | ||
| 28 | can now track many more dimensions such as zone, channel and platform | ||
| 29 | information. And with this information we can now adapt occurrences of ads on | ||
| 30 | specific places more precisely.<p>We have also adapted <a href=https://redis.io/>Redis</a> as a full-time citizen in our | ||
| 31 | stack. Because Redis also stores information on a local disk we have some sort | ||
| 32 | of backup if server would accidentally suffer some failure.<p>All the real-time statistics for ad serving and redirecting is presented as | ||
| 33 | counters in Redis instance and daily extracted and pushed to Elastic.<h2 id=measure-everything>Measure everything</h2><p>The thing about software is that we really don't know how well it is performing | ||
| 34 | under load until such load is presented. When testing locally everything is fine | ||
| 35 | but when on production things tend to fall apart.<p>As a solution for this we are measuring everything we can. Function execution | ||
| 36 | time (by encapsulating functions with timers), server performance (cpu, memory, | ||
| 37 | disk, etc), Nginx and <a href=https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/>uWSGI</a> performance. | ||
| 38 | We sacrifice a bit of performance for the sake of this information. And we store | ||
| 39 | all this information for later analysis.<p><strong>Example of function execution time</strong><pre tabindex=0 style=background-color:#fff><code><span style=display:flex><span>{ | ||

| 67 | and then visualizing with <a href=http://kcachegrind.sourceforge.net/>KCachegrind</a>. | ||
| 68 | This provides much more detailed look into code execution.<h2 id=cache-control-is-your-friend>Cache control is your friend</h2><p>Because we use Javascript library for rendering ads we rely on this script | ||
| 69 | extensively and when in need we need to be able to change behavior of the script | ||
| 70 | quickly.<p>In our case we can not simply replace javascript url in html code. It usually | ||
| 71 | takes a day or two for the guys who maintain sites to change code or add | ||
| 72 | ?ver=xxx attribute. And this makes rapid deployment and testing very difficult | ||
| 73 | and time consuming. There is a limitation of how much you can test locally.<p>We are now in the process of integrating <a href=https://www.google.com/analytics/tag-manager/>Google Tag | ||
| 74 | Manager</a> but couple of websites | ||
| 75 | are developed on ASP.net platform that have some problems with tag manager. With | ||
| 76 | a solution below we are certain that we are serving latest version of the | ||
| 77 | script.<p>And it only takes one mistake and users have the script cached and in case of | ||
| 78 | caching it for 1 year you probably know where the problem is.<pre tabindex=0 style=background-color:#fff><code><span style=display:flex><span><span style=color:green># nginx ➜ /etc/nginx/sites-available/default | ||

| 97 | we didn't precisely setup cache control and expire headers in response we didn't | ||
| 98 | get the request on the server and therefore couldn't measure clicks. So when | ||
| 99 | redirecting do as follows and there will be no problems.<pre tabindex=0 style=background-color:#fff><code><span style=display:flex><span><span style=color:green># python ➜ bottlepy web micro-framework</span> | ||

| 106 | avoid future problems. We learned that lesson the hard way.</blockquote><h2 id=learn-nginx>Learn NGINX</h2><p>When deciding on a web server we went with Nginx as a reverse proxy for our | ||
| 107 | applications. We adapted micro-service oriented architecture early in the | ||
| 108 | project to ensure when we scale we can easily add additional servers to our | ||
| 109 | cluster. And Nginx was crucial to perform load balancing and static content | ||
| 110 | delivery.<p>At first our config file was quite simple and later grew larger. After patching | ||
| 111 | and adding new settings I sat down and learned more about the guts of Nginx. | ||
| 112 | This proved to be very useful and we were able to squeeze much more out of our | ||
| 113 | setup. So I advise you to take your time and read through the | ||
| 114 | <a href=https://nginx.org/en/docs/>documentation</a>. This saved us a lot of headache. | ||
| 115 | Googling for solutions only goes so far.<h2 id=use-redismemcached>Use Redis/Memcached</h2><p>As explained above we are using caching basically for everything. It is the | ||
| 116 | corner stone of our services. At first we were very careful about the quantity | ||
| 117 | of things we stored in <a href=https://redis.io/>Redis</a>. But we later found out that | ||
| 118 | the memory footprint is very low even when storing large amount of data in it.<p>So we gradually increased our usage to caching whole HTML outputs of dashboard. | ||
| 119 | This improved our performance in order of magnitude. And by using native TTL | ||
| 120 | support this goes hand in hand with our needs.<p>The reason why we choose <a href=https://redis.io/>Redis</a> over | ||
| 121 | <a href=https://memcached.org/>Memcached</a> was the nature of scalability of Redis out | ||
| 122 | of the box. But all this can be achieved with Memcached.<h2 id=conclusion>Conclusion</h2><p>There are a lot more details that could have been written and every single topic | ||
