Adobe CDP Source Connector Pros/Cons

[RyanMoravick]

My team is evaluating what source connector might be best for ingesting paid media data from Facebooks Ads, Google Ads, and The Trade Desk. I was informed by Adobe support that the Google Ads source connector is temporarily unavailable with no ETA for when it will be working again. We are considering Azure Blob and HTTP API. Does anyone has pros/cons for using one over the other?

Hi @RyanMoravick 

I did a quick search through documentation and came up with the following summarization:

• Go with Azure Blob Storage if you need a scalable, durable, and cost-effective solution for storing large amounts of data and you’re already invested in the Azure ecosystem.
• Go with HTTP API if you need real-time or near-real-time data access, flexibility in querying, and can manage the complexities of API rate limits and security.

So, it would most likely depend on your wants/needs for the use case.

Thanks,

David
