Question: how to port a real time data module (RTD) to prebid-server?

[peczenyj]

Hello

This is a question related to #2095

Currently we have a RTD Module that works fine on prebid.js

https://github.com/prebid/Prebid.js/blob/master/modules/weboramaRtdProvider.js

We receive some questions about Prebid Mobile and how can we integrate our module to it.

If I understand well, the Prebid Mobile is just a client for prebid-server, so I imagine that we need to somehow integrate our module to prebid-server (go ? java ? good question ).

I did not find any suitable example and all RTD modules in prebid.js seems to have no parallel on prebid-server (at least in go).

someone can help me?

Thanks

@peczenyj - there's no specific real time data module concept in Prebid Server - everything's just a generic module. See https://docs.prebid.org/prebid-server/developers/add-a-module.html

I'm happy to get on a call to talk about the architecture - bgorsline at at prebid dot dot org

You would want to write the module in the language most familiar to your engineering team. If either Go or Java is a choice, choose Go because the PBS-Java team ports things from Go-to-Java but not the other way around.

One issue you're going to face is local storage for caching. We're going to discuss this in committee this week.

We're in touch via email now so closing this issue. Other vendors interested in exploring a real-time data module are welcome to take the same path.
