Building a Service with Docker and ECS

At Sharethrough, we built a proxy server (codenamed ASAP) that all mobile SDKs speak to for ad server related information. The purpose of ASAP was to reduce our client side SDKs to minimal logic as well as allowing us to push changes and new features to ASAP without asking publishers to update their SDK.

Because ASAP will receive thousands of ad requests per second, we needed to build a scalable, high performance infrastructure that is easy to maintain.
