Goal

The existing solution contained a lot of legacy code and was difficult to scale. At the same time, the customer expected significant business growth in the short run, so the task for the tech team was to make provisions for an increasing load.

Work Description

There was a software solution that powered the customer’s business, so too many system changes could introduce technical risks. Our proposition was to port parts of their ad server incrementally to provide manageability, scalability, and fault tolerance. Geomotiv made use of Amazon Kinesis to process the incoming raw event data, store it on an Amazon S3 file server, and transform and save various aggregated values into a Redshift database for further visualization.

Work Stages

  1. Procure business requirements
  2. Break the work scope into loosely coupled phases
  3. Refactor the Back Office server
  4. Capture Real Time events
  5. Implement additional components
  6. Provide Quality Assurance
  7. Deploy in production
