vanilla-rtb

Real Time Bidding (RTB) - Demand Side Platform framework

Utilizing modern C++11/14 features and latest BOOST libraries some critical path functionality written in C and older, easy on the eye, C++ .

Structure ( work in progress ) :

• / -- the root directory
  • boost-process/ -- C++11 not in official boost stack
  • boost-dll/ -- C++11 not in official boost stack
  • CRUD/ -- Restful web-service written in C++11 based on boost.ASIO and CRUD handlers
  • rtb/ -- C++11 framework and sandbox for testing platform solution
    • core/ -- generic structures shared in the project ( RTB specific )
    • common/ -- generic RTB agnostic structures
    • datacache/ -- IPC data store for fast lookups and matching
    • exchange/ -- exchange handlers implementations ( under review for more generic solution)
    • DSL/ -- DSL formats for jsonv ( under review )
  • examples/ -- root to our sandbox with examples
    • bidder/ -- collection of application specific classes to support targeting
    • loader/ -- collection of application specific classes to support campaign loading
• [CMakeLists.txt] - cmake file

The stack of vanilla-rtb depends on other C++11 projects and is referencing them via gh-subree. To update to the latest version of boost-process , boost-dll , json-voorhees or CRUD use the following commands :

• git subtree pull --prefix jsonv git@github.com:tgockel/json-voorhees.git master --squash
• git subtree pull --prefix boost-process git@github.com:BorisSchaeling/boost-process.git master --squash
• git subtree pull --prefix boost-dll git@github.com:apolukhin/Boost.DLL.git master --squash
• git subtree pull --prefix CRUD git@github.com:venediktov/CRUD.git master --squash

###(📗) To build vanilla-rtb use following commands in the root of vanilla-rtb

###Linux :

• mkdir Release
• cd Release
• cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. -G "Unix Makefiles"
• gmake VERBOSE=1
• cd ..
• mkdir Debug
• cd Debug
• cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .. -G "Unix Makefiles"
• gmake VERBOSE=1

###Windows : same steps as above for linux , only difference is depending on your environment either Visual Studio or NMake project can be used

• cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. -G "NMake Makefiles"
• cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .. -G "NMake Makefiles"
• cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015"
• cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015"

###For faster builds invoking multiple make processes , find number of cores on your system Linux command :

• nproc

4

pass it to your make script like this gmake -j4

###Running examples:

• HTTP-Bidder
  • vanilla-rtb/examples/bidder$ ../../Release/examples/bidder/http_bidder_test --config etc/config.cfg
• Cache loader
  • vanilla-rtb/examples$ ../Release/examples/loader/cache_loader_test --config etc/config.cfg
• Exchange Handler with HTTP handler or Exchange Handler distributing to multi-bidders via communicator
  • vanilla-rtb/examples$ ../Release/examples/exchange_handler_test --config etc/config.cfg
• Mock-bidders starting multiple in one swoop, currently configured as 5 bidders in config
  • vanilla-rtb/examples$ ../Release/examples/mock_bidder_test --config etc/config.cfg
