Tracing in Ads Manager" (Facebook) Faculty Advisor: Dr. Min Chen |

Abstract In performance work, one of the most critical
aspects is measuring performance. Good data and good tools are essential to
track performance metrics, provide insights on real user experience, guide
the work direction, and enable debugging of regressions. However, the
existing performance logging framework used by Ads Manager - Facebook's
advertising platform - requires developers to manually define the user flows
they want to track by annotating the start and end of these flows. It is
challenging to maintain and get it right. During my summer internship at Facebook, I worked at
Ads Manager Foundation Team focusing on exploring and starting adoption of a
new performance framework called Hero Tracing in Ads Manager. By the end of
the internship, I was able to build up a Hero Tracing prototype which enabled
me to migrate top-contributing scenarios in Ads Manager to Hero Tracing.
Besides, I set up tools (e.g., HealthCompass,
Program Runner, etc) for monitoring performance
data. I also created an internal catalog page to display detailed information
about Ads Manager interactions. |
