Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for simulating advertising auction results for a listing using auction data from auctions in which the listing previously participated. The simulation allows an advertiser to determine a bid price that would have resulted in a particular outcome. The simulation may be performed by rerunning auctions in which the listing participated by maintaining the characteristics of all other bids that actually participated in the auction while changing the bid price for the listing being simulated. The simulation may be repeated multiple times with different bid prices to create a distribution of auction results that correspond to various bid prices.

The present disclosure relates to a system and techniques for enabling migration of data between data storage devices without disruption to an application that relies upon the data. In some embodiments, this may involve the insertion of a redirect command into a mutation log. Upon receiving a transaction that relates to a data value, a transactor host may access the mutation log. Upon detecting the redirect command, the transactor host may generate a new mutation log in a second memory location which includes a reference to the mutation log. New mutations generated by the mutation log are then written to the new mutation log.
