ABOUT

At NMC (Nielsen Marketing Cloud) we provide our customers (marketers and publishers) real-time analytics tools to profile their target audiences. Specifically, we provide them the ability to see the number of unique users who meet a given criteria.

Historically, we have used Elasticsearch to answer these types of questions, however, we have encountered major scaling and stability issues.

In this session, we will detail the journey of rebuilding our data infrastructure, including researching, benchmarking and productionizing a new technology, Druid, with ThetaSketch, to overcome the limitations we were facing.

We will also provide guidelines and best practices with regards to Druid.
