Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
Digital Turbine initially processed vast amounts of on-device data in several ETL-based data warehouses, most of which ran on-premises and required heavy maintenance, straining the data team and making it hard to deliver data in the format data science and BI teams needed.
The solution
Digital Turbine chose Apache Spark as its new data technology foundation and implemented it with Databricks on Google Cloud, using Google Cloud tools such as BigQuery and Vertex AI within the Databricks Data + AI Platform, plus Databricks SQL Serverless and Unity Catalog for governed, technology-agnostic data access.
Reported business value
Digital Turbine saved tens of thousands of dollars per month in hosting costs, reduced the data management team's workload by about 20%, and streamlined delivery time from three weeks to less than a week for most new releases.

Supermetrics: Helping Marketers Redefine Efficiency with AI-Powered Data Analysis
Supermetrics, a Finland-based marketing intelligence platform serving 15,000+ customers across 132 countries, built an AI agent on Google Cloud using Vertex AI Agent Builder and the Agent Development Kit (ADK) that autonomously manages data connections, fixes pipeline errors, and analyzes campaign performance in real time, suggesting new creative options using Imagen. The agent automates the weekly marketing reporting cycle that previously took performance marketers up to four hours, reclaiming over 15 hours per month per marketer for strategy and creative testing. The system uses a central AI agent that interprets natural language requests and delegates tasks to sub-agents, and stores 'core memories' of user preferences for personalized context.
