How we evolved data pipeline at Celtra and what we learned along the way /slideshow/how-we-evolved-data-pipeline-at-celtra-and-what-we-learned-along-the-way/93890885 howweevolveddatapipelineatceltraandwhatwelearnedalongtheway-180415101624
Presented at Data Science Meetup on 4/12/2018. In this talk, Grega Kespret (head of analytics group) will present Celtras data analytics pipeline and how it evolved through the years - sometimes forward, sometimes backward. On this journey, we became early adopter of different technologies: BigQuery, Vertica (pre-join projections), Spark (version 0.5), Databricks (beta users) and Snowflake (one of the first users). As the business grew and the product evolved, volume and complexity of data increased ten-fold, as has the number of users generating insights from this data. How come BigQuery did not scale? Why was choosing Vertica a mistake for our use case, and what have we learned from it? What requirements did we have for the analytics database, why did we have to abandon MySQL, and why we finally chose Snowflake? This talk will be heavily opinionated and will describe our experience and learnings - what worked for us and what didn't.]]>

Celtra provides a platform for streamlined ad creation and campaign management used by customers including Porsche, Taco Bell, and Fox to create, track, and analyze their digital display advertising. Celtras platform processes billions of ad events daily to give analysts fast and easy access to reports and ad hoc analytics. Celtras Grega Ke邸pret leads a technical dive into Celtras data-pipeline challenges and explains how it solved them by combining Snowflakes cloud data warehouse with Spark to get the best of both. Topics include: - Why Celtra changed its pipeline, materializing session representations to eliminate the need to rerun its pipeline - How and why it decided to use Snowflake rather than an alternative data warehouse or a home-grown custom solution - How Snowflake complemented the existing Spark environment with the ability to store and analyze deeply nested data with full consistency - How Snowflake + Spark enables production and ad hoc analytics on a single repository of data]]>

How Celtra Optimizes its Advertising Platform鐃with Databricks /slideshow/how-celtra-optimizes-its-advertising-platformwith-databricks/56186951 howceltraoptimizesitsadvertisingplatformwithdatabricks-151216014836
Leading brands such as Pepsi and Macys use Celtras technology platform for brand advertising. To inform better product design and resolve issues faster, Celtra relies on Databricks to gather insights from large-scale, diverse, and complex raw event data. Learn how Celtra uses Databricks to simplify their Spark deployment, achieve faster project turnaround time, and empower people to make data-driven decisions. In this webinar, you will learn how Databricks helps Celtra to: - Utilize Apache Spark to power their production analytics pipeline. - Build a Just-in-Time data warehouse to analyze diverse data sources such as Elastic Load Balancer access logs, raw tracking events, operational data, and reportable metrics. - Go beyond simple counting and group events into sequences (i.e., sessionization) and perform more complex analysis such as funnel analytics.]]>
