vanilla-rtb

Real Time Bidding (RTB) - Demand Side Platform framework

open-source library utilizing modern C++11/14/17 features and latest Boost.

What makes us different from other open-source RTB projects on GitHub :

Our stack is fairly small and easy to integrate with any cmake project.
Partitioned targeting data
Monolithic bidder
Code generation for targeting matchers and bidder executable
Minimum dependency on outside vendors.
Decoupled by C++ templates
Very high throughput up to 105K QPS on 16 cores Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2697 v3 @ 2.60GHz
GUI for editing campaign budget

As a model cmake project please visit https://github.com/vanilla-rtb/rapid-bidder

We provide including bindings to popular languages NodeJS/Go/Java/PHP/Python
and custom targetings and bidder executable generators https://github.com/vanilla-rtb/extensions

[CMakeLists.txt] - cmake file

The stack of vanilla-rtb includes other C++11/14 projects and is referencing them via gh-subree. To update to the latest version of json-voorhees or CRUD we use the following commands :

git subtree pull --prefix jsonv git@github.com:tgockel/json-voorhees.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

(installing dependencies before building vanilla stack)

Linux :

$ mkdir Release
$ cd Release
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. -G "Unix Makefiles"
$ make -j4 install
####### Creating  Debug build #######
$ cd ..
$ mkdir Debug
$ cd Debug
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .. -G "Unix Makefiles"
$ make -j4 install

Windows :

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

######### for NMake ####################
cd Release
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. -G "NMake Makefiles"
cd ../Debug
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug   .. -G "NMake Makefiles"
######### for Visual Studio ############
cd Release
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015"
cd ../Debug
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug   .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015"

Mac OS X (Xcode) :

For the reliable results it is suggested to have the build directory out of source tree. The process involves creating a build directory, generating an Xcode project in that directory with CMake, opening the project file generated in the build directory with Xcode, and lastly, adjusting project settings as requried and kicking off the build.

To generate an Xcode project invoke cmake from an empty build directory with command line similar to cmake -G Xcode -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release.

Mac OS X (command line tools) :

$ xcode-select --install
$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
$ brew doctor
$ brew install cmake
$ brew install boost
$ mkdir Release
$ cd Release
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. -G "Unix Makefiles"
$ make -j4 install

Mac OS X ( with llvm ) :

$ brew doctor
$ brew install cmake
$ brew install boost
$ brew install --with-clang llvm
$ mkdir Release
$ cd Release
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/clang++ -DCMAKE_RANLIB=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/llvm-ranlib -DCMAKE_AR=/usr/local/opt/llvm/bin/llvm-ar .. -G "Unix Makefiles"

Parallel Builds

When building on Linux and Mac OS X with Make it's possible to automatically adjust the concurreny of the build using nproc for Linux and sysctl -n hw.physicalcpu for Mac OS X command line tools that returns number of CPUs available to the Make execution context:

Linux :

$ make -j $(nproc) ...

Mac OS X :

make -j $(sysctl -n hw.physicalcpu) ...

It's also possible to specifying the target Load Average with -l flag to prevent machine overloading:

$ make -l $(nproc) ...

And lastly, on Linux, it's possible to run the build with the BATCH scheduling mode (throughput oriented) as:

$ chrt --batch 0 make ...

All above considered the ultimate Make invocation combo on Linux would be something like:

$ chrt --batch 0 make -j$(nproc) -l$(nproc)

Testing Mock exchange writen in python

Mock exchange - emulating bid requests
- To run mock exchange you need any python, and python "requests" library installed.
- for simple exchange please run
- vanilla-rtb/Release/examples/bin/mock_exchange$ python mock-x.py
- for various geo and size rotation please run
- vanilla-rtb/Release/examples/bin/mock_exchange$ python mock-x.py --geo "Russia:Moscow USA:NY USA:Washington USA:Chicago" --size '100:300 240:400 420:280'
- for more info please run
- vanilla-rtb/Release/examples/bin/mock_exchange$ python mock-x.py --help

Testing campaign manager paired with Win-notification service

Campaign manager - Budget
- vanilla-rtb/Release/examples/bin$ ./campaign_manager_test --config etc/config.cfg
Notification service and Slave-Banker
- vanilla-rtb/Release/examples/bin$ ./notification_service_test --config etc/config.cfg
- vanilla-rtb/Release/examples/bin$ ./slavebanker_service_test --config etc/config.cfg
To add/delete/modify campign budgets fire up UI by connecting to manager via browser http:://localhost:11081/campaign/index.html
