WunderKIND Integrates with Amazon Publisher Services
WunderKIND Ads announced an integration with Amazon Publisher Services (APS) that makes WunderKIND’s premium publisher inventory available to Amazon DSP and APS bidding marketplaces, including the Transparent Ad Marketplace (TAM) and Unified Ad Marketplace (UAM). The integration connects WunderKIND’s exclusive network of 300+ publishers to Amazon demand, enabling publishers to offer high-impact ad formats (Overlays, Mastheads, Endcap, In-Feed) through APS while allowing advertisers to manage campaigns within Amazon DSP. WunderKIND and APS say the direct supply path reduces latency, simplifies integrations, and can increase publisher yield. Adam Gendelman, GM at WunderKIND Ads, is quoted on the benefit to publishers.
Integration expands publisher access to Amazon demand, simplifies the supply path, and may increase publisher yield — a relevant programmatic partnership but not industry-shifting.

Amazon's APS Prebid Adapter Enters Open Beta
Microsoft Advertising will stop paying to cache Prebid video creative for Google Ad Manager (GAM) auctions, effective April 30, after previously delaying a January 31 deadline. Publishers that route Prebid video through GAM risk VAST errors (no video served) because an intermediary host for the creative will no longer be provided as a free service. Microsoft and earlier corporate owners (AppNexus, Xandr) historically absorbed those storage costs; Microsoft will make caching part of its paid offering. Industry sources estimate Microsoft’s cache has covered more than 60% of Prebid-to-GAM video impressions. Workarounds include paid caching from SSPs/exchanges (e.g., Magnite, PubMatic, Mediavine, JW Player) or Prebid’s Local Cache using a BLOB-based approach, but those options require publisher implementation changes and may reduce AdX revenue materially. Estimated caching costs cited range from $50k–$250k/month today and could rise as adoption grows.
Amazon Launches Prebid Adapter for Open Standards in AdTech
Amazon Publisher Services (APS) has released an open beta of its Prebid.js adapter, enabling APS demand to participate directly in Prebid auctions alongside other demand sources. The move marks a shift toward open standards in programmatic advertising, creating a more interoperable ecosystem among Amazon Ads, TAM, UAM and third-party buyers. The adapter plugs into publishers' existing Prebid.js setups, allowing access to APS demand without reworking monetization stacks. It reduces parallel auctions, potentially improving page load times and giving publishers control over which demand sources are activated. The adapter is available on GitHub for open beta testing, with publishers able to download it and coordinate with APS representatives to confirm eligibility. Scott Siegler, Director of APS, notes the change responds to publisher demand for flexibility and interoperability and positions APS as a participant in Prebid rather than a replacement.
Amazon’s APS Prebid Adapter Enters Open Beta
Amazon Publisher Services (APS) has made its Prebid adapter available in open beta, publishing the adapter code on GitHub. The adapter plugs Amazon Ads demand directly into publishers' existing Prebid.js auctions, bringing TAM and UAM cloud-based demand paths into the Prebid client-side flow for the first time. APS says the integration reduces the need to run parallel auctions, can improve page load performance, and preserves publisher control over activated demand sources and shared signals. The open beta is available globally to publishers who use Prebid.js and work with APS; interested publishers can download the adapter from GitHub and coordinate implementation through APS representatives.
