best cloud platform for running programmatic advertising infrastructure at scale: what buyers discover

See which brands AI assistants put in front of buyers and why those answers are chosen.

The AI answer we saw

For programmatic advertising at scale, AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure are the leading options. AWS offers robust services like Kinesis for real-time data streaming, EC2 for compute, and a broad global network. GCP is particularly strong given Google's native advertising ecosystem, offering BigQuery for ad analytics and low-latency networking. Azure integrates well with Microsoft's advertising stack. Your best fit depends on your existing tech stack, latency requirements, and preferred managed services. Many large DSPs and SSPs run on AWS or GCP due to their mature ecosystems and global edge presence.
