Don't take your software for granted

An evolving business means that things are bound to change. I would like to share some stories about the work we have done, as a team we had the unique perspective of writing/debugging code to help those 2 layers infrastructure and business work together when changing in different directions and speed. We will discuss the recipes we use and the pitfalls we encountered.

Evolution of analytics at Criteo

In this presentation, you will learn about the birth and evolution of the Analytics Stack at Criteo in as much detail as a 25 minute time slot will permit. You'll learn about the specific technology that we use, at what scale, and how it found itself as a first class member of daily operations.
