Video Ad Tech Platform

Reduced infrastructure costs by
89%
“Everything the other dev firms were unable to do...MEV can do! 3 months.”
MEV team modernized a legacy platform running on outdated 2016-era technologies with no documentation, no CI/CD, and an overprovisioned infrastructure. A few previous teams struggled to revive it, but we successfully brought it back to life.
What We Also Did:
  • Conducted a full infrastructure audit and eliminated unnecessary resources
  • Developed infrastructure as code (Terraform) from the ground up for repeatability and scalability
  • Upgraded infrastructure to leverage managed services, reducing maintenance overhead
  • Successfully launched a new development environment, making iteration and testing effortless
  • Containerized applications, enabling configuration via environment variables
  • Built a CI/CD pipeline from scratch for seamless deployments

Our Clients Say

C.J. Bowden

C.J. Bowden

Founder, CEO at Drexx

I used two different development firms before finally finding MEV. We have a video advertising technology platform --- with over 140 repositories at GitHub --- so it was (and is) a lot of work, but the MEV team has been amazing. They, unlike the other firms, document everything with a clear plan, weekly calls, and they do what they say they will do --- on time and on budget. They also came to me with solutions and creative ideas. Their team is pragmatic, hard working, diligent, and extremely competent. I cannot say enough good things about them.

Head of PubDev & Product at Fastener.io

Like an extension of our team, we booked daily calls throughout the duration of our initial contract to build a B2B Platform facing senior leaders in Media; I say initial as we fully intend to continue our engagement. Thoughtful, experienced, consultative and incredibly efficient, I would not hesitate to recommend MEV (we worked with Olesia, Bogdan and Max with Alex guiding the business side always with professionalism and candor). If you're building something, talk to MEV and then hire them.

Co-Founder and President, Focal Revenue

MEV has a deep desire to understand what a platform does, what functionality it delivers, and how it creates value for customers. That allows MEV to develop technology solutions that not only solve complex challenges, but also build a platform that is scalable and extensible. As we’ve grown to 400 hotels, our system’s performance is keeping pace, and our integrations meet the demands of our customers.

FAQs

Got questions? No worries, we've got all your answers covered in our FAQ!

We’re familiar with the major privacy frameworks (GDPR, CCPA, TCF 2.2, etc.) and understand where privacy touches the programmatic stack (bidstream data, logs, consent signals, etc.). But just to be clear: we’ll always expect the client (or their privacy counsel) to define the exact compliance boundaries, and we’ll handle the technical side accordingly.

Yes. Once active development wraps up, we can continue maintaining and supporting your platform through our Maintenance and Support Service. We make sure all necessary tech updates are handled, the product stays stable and secure, and you have the ability to roll out new features when needed.

That depends on what we’re building. A lightweight prototype might take a few weeks. A full-scale, enterprise-grade platform takes significantly more time. We define the scope early and provide realistic timelines.

A few things: project complexity, integration needs, compliance scope, data volume, and long-term support requirements. We’ll break it down clearly with no surprises.

We combine deep technical expertise with an understanding of how AdTech works. That means less hand-holding, fewer misunderstandings, and faster progress. We don’t just build software for programmatic services—we build exactly what your team needs to move forward.

We handle full-cycle integration: OpenRTB protocol adjustments, bidstream mapping, reporting pipelines, error handling, and partner-specific onboarding workflows.

That’s actually one of our core strengths. We’ve stabilized and modernized legacy RTB engines written in older tech stacks. We typically apply gradual decoupling strategies to modernize critical components without disrupting production traffic.

Over the past 20 years, we’ve worked across different industries, but we have a successful portfolio in programmatic advertising software development.

Yes—we run detailed infrastructure audits for programmatic advertising solutions focusing on real-time workloads (bidding engines, stream processing, log pipelines) and find cost reduction opportunities.
