Rubicon Project operates a fully automated trading platform for the buying and selling of online advertisements all over the world. This platform generates a tremendous amount of data which takes up to an hour to aggregate in a data center before it can be analyzed. We are designing a real-time streaming system that will serve as a proof of concept to reduce the latency to as low as a minute.
