🧩 About AppsFlyer:

AppsFlyer provides a SaaS marketing analytics platform that measures and optimizes marketing activities across mobile, web, CTV, PC, and console applications. AppsFlyer is known for its massive backend production. At any given moment, thousands of servers are consuming 150+ billion mobile app events, crunching our users’ data, serving requests, and communicating on a massive scale.

To maintain the universe we call AppsFlyer, we practice modern production operations with a complete self-serve CI/CD platform, a highly integrated observability stack for our micro-services, backends, and infrastructure, a culture of ownership and eagerness for quality.
