System Overview and Components

System Components

Relay was designed to perform the following actions:

• accept a single request from a user
• transform and generate many requests
• send requests to DSPs or Exchanges
• collect and aggregate results

The primary components that make up Relay include:

• Exchange API - enables Relay to accept, transform and send OpenRTB requests
• Configuration API - enables operation of the Exchange API

In simpler terms, think of the Exchange API as the car, and the Configuration API as the cruise control.
