Today, I am thrilled to announce the launch of the MediaMath Developer Blog. It has been a long time coming, and we’ve got a lot to share. On this blog, you’ll hear from the very folks building our products, systems, and technical services including engineering, product, QA, and technical client services.
Topics we’ll be discussing include:
• Our technology choices: We have the leading user interface and huge global scale. We’ll talk about our stack, our decision-making process, and our benchmarks. Not all choices were the right ones, and we will share those, too.
• What excites us: Everything from data streaming to app development, from mobile usage to global network implications – we have a lot to be excited about.
• How we build: We’ll discuss tips, tools, and tricks. Some borne from our open source projects and hackathons, some from our laps around the track, and others from our fellow engineers around the world.
• What we believe: We’ll talk about our culture, vision, values, and team. We’ve doubled in size every year since inception, and we will share how we do our best to put people first and keep the place lively.
• What we have learned: We’ve been fortunate to have many lessons come without the tax of failure. However, we’ve still paid our fair share of tax, and we’ll be honest and reflective about those lessons, too. How we actively rooted those out, learned, and moved on.
I have been at MediaMath since we started seven years ago, and I can tell you we learn something new and try something new every single day. That’s a lot of successes, a lot of failures, and most importantly, a lot of lessons learned along the way. We figured with all that we’ve created and all there is left to create, we’ve got a fair amount to share that others might find useful.
I am so excited that we finally have a public platform to share the fun, genius, innovation, and passion that has made MediaMath a great company. I hope you find our posts insightful and useful, and I encourage you to comment and ask questions.
Thank you and stay tuned…
