Challenge

Accomplishing real-time experiences

More than 10 years ago, Adobe began looking at what needed to be done to understand the unique needs and interests of each customer, and how Adobe could deliver the best experience to that customer based on the data Adobe collected.

  • Disconnected identities

    What does a customer look like from an enterprise perspective with different identities on web, mobile, in-store, and email.
  • Slow profile unification

    Data coming in from multiple sources is fragmented.
  • AI/ML operates in a silo

    Cannot operate if data isn't brought together at the scale and at the latency required.
Solution

Requirements met with Aerospike

Aerospike is a key component of Adobe’s edge computations story, which is becoming the backbone of the data storage replication and distribution for the entire edge computation for all Adobe infrastructure.

Key-value store

Using Aerospike database on the edges.

High performance

Low latency, high throughput while providing highly stable, predictable characteristics.

XDR

Replication ability across different edges.

Single system across use cases

Met performance characteristics with others coming from the programmatic stack – all the way to personalization and real-time segmentation.

Lower costs

Replaced multiple solutions across different use cases; no longer need to manage different, complex and costly infrastructures.

Increase efficiency

Because Aerospike operates as one system, it requires fewer people to operate and provisioning and deployment is simplified.
