BigQuery/Redshift/ClickHouse: How to choose the best database management system for AdTech projects

AdTech products’ success rates are predicated on the efficient collection and use of big data — but more importantly, on how it is stored, processed, and analyzed.

Advertising platforms must deliver multi-dimensional insights on real-time and historical campaign performance. To follow the industry trends in omnichannel ad attribution and cross-platform customer profiles, there’s a lot of data that AdTech companies need to store, move, and process every minute.

Consequently, adopting a flexible database management solution (DBMS) is a must.

In this post, we discuss:

• What a database management system is and its role in data warehousing

• Common types of DBMS with an in-depth OLTP vs. OLAP comparison

• Redshift AWS, Google BigQuerry, and ClickHouse as top DBMS options for AdTech

What is a database management system (DBMS)?

A database management system (DBMS) is a software package designed to facilitate data retrieval, manipulation, and management in a centralized database.

A DBMS is one of the central data warehousing concepts.
