When five nines is not enough: What 100% uptime looks like
AppNexus was Aerospike’s first customer and remains a strong example of real-time scale. Now part of Microsoft Advertising after acquisitions by AT&T and Xandr, AppNexus at its peak handled a substantial portion of the world’s internet advertising.
Aerospike is a core operational system powering AppNexus’s cookie store, which has grown to hold tens of billions of objects and supports millions of reads and writes per second across multiple global data centers. The system has increased 40-fold in both size and speed over time, supporting a zero-downtime infrastructure as the company scaled from a Manhattan apartment to more than 1,000 employees in 26 offices.
