Redesigning Pinterest’s Ad Serving Systems with Zero Downtime

The Problem

Pinterest’s legacy ad-serving system, Mohawk, managing over $3B in revenue, was complex with 70+ backends, 380K+ lines of code, and 200+ experiments. Its unsafe multi-threading and poor modularization led to frequent outages and slow innovation.

The Solution

A complete rewrite instead of a major refactor, focusing on extensibility, modularity, safety, and development velocity. For this, the Design Decisions needed achieved the following answers to the key questions:

1. How to avoid breaking code across teams?
   Adopting Apex, a graph execution framework that organizes code into Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs), to ensure clear modularization and team isolation and prevent cross-team breakages.

2. How to ensure data correctness?
   Each node of Apex is a logically coherent piece of business logic, and data must pass from from upstream to downstream nodes, to ensure consistency and preventing discrepancies in concurrent operations.

The Results

The AdMixer rewrite achieved zero downtime migration, doubled developer satisfaction in a survey (NPS 46 → 90), cut several millions of infrastructure costs, and supported advanced ad innovations with improved scalability.
