Ask HN: Resources for building own ad server?
Does anyone know of any resources on how to build an ad server? Would appreciate guidance on language usage, etc.
- swah 9y agoYou should learn a web framework like Django or Lavarel or whatever first, and then you can write an ad server, gif server, whatever. If you are Google-sized, prefer C++ or Java. Otherwise, whatever you already know :)
- tixocloud 9y agoI’m fairly proficient with Django. But I just can’t imagine an ad server running on Django other than as a proof of concept?
- BartBoch 9y agoWhy learning a framework would be the first step in building an ad server? I would actually go against frameworks when building ad server and focus on a custom solution from the ground up.
- sol2k 9y agoYou can also take a look at open source projects that already do this. Revive AdServer [0] is done in PHP and it’s very feature-rich. [0] https://github.com/revive-adserver/revive-adserver https://github.com/revive-adserver/revive-adserver
