Real-time Attribution

When setting up S2S attribution, it’s critical that everything runs like clockwork. Real-time attribution ensures events are received, processed, and reflected in reporting in real-time, so teams can validate implementations quickly, spot issues early, and make decisions on live performance data.

Reliable and Stable by Design

S2S tracking ensures stable, uninterrupted attribution. By processing events server-side, your measurement infrastructure maintains reliable and consistent data capture.

This ensures consistent data flow that is unaffected by app stability, OS compatibility or changes, or even device-level disruptions that affect SDK integrations. 

Built for Speed and Control

S2S tracking puts you in the driver’s seat of your measurement pipeline. Mobile teams that prioritize data speed, accuracy, and ownership choose server-to-server integration over SDK-based solutions.

Own Your Data

You control the entire measurement pipeline: raw data access, custom endpoints, and direct integration with your data warehouse, or use ours. Maintain complete ownership of your data while leveraging our powerful attribution intelligence and pure analytics capabilities.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    1. What Is S2S?

      S2S is short for server-to-server. The meaning of S2S refers to a communication model where servers communicate directly with each other. It is the same as server-to-server communication.

    2. What Is Server-To-Server Tracking?

      Server-to-Server (S2S) tracking connects your server directly to Tenjin via API instead of installing an SDK in your app. This gives you complete data ownership, zero app code changes, and powerful attribution analytics without SDK overhead. Perfect for teams that desire full control of their business intelligence or measurement pipeline while accessing real-time insights.

    3. What Is Server-To-Server Integration?

      Server-to-Server (S2S) integration is an API-based setup that connects your backend directly to Tenjin for mobile attribution, so no SDK installation is required in your app.

    4. What Is Server-Side Tracking vs S2S Tracking?

      These terms are often used interchangeably in mobile attribution. Server-to-Server (S2S) is a specific type of server-side tracking where data flows directly between servers via API, which is what Tenjin offers.

    5. How To Set Up Server-Side Tracking?

      S2S integration isn’t plug-and-play. It requires backend infrastructure capable of handling server-side data transmission and technical talent equipped to build and maintain your attribution pipeline. Confirm these resources are in place before implementing. You can always get in touch for more information, documentation, and any questions: support@tenjin.com.  


      Please note that S2S integration is not available on our free plan.
