In the mission to revolutionize the mobile quiz game market, Friends4Media had to launch an application around a mobile quiz game, in just three months. We took the challenge and delivered on time a microservice-based backend system with scalable databases, modern operation technologies, and automation.
In only a few months, we consolidated a team of over 50 people, built a tenant manager in Yii2 and a full AWS environment with an operations team. The whole process included the development, testing, integration and live environments as infrastructure and code. We implemented backend systems and configurators in Node.js, as well as backend services, react frontend and java services.
The implementation involved a large scalable NoSQL database as core, together with complicated data processing mechanisms.
We delivered 1905 User Stories, including 6299 tasks over the course of 205 working days.
We focused on setting up the whole infrastructure in less than one year, which included more than 81 micro services and modules and 7 frontend applications.
In just a few days, it was possible to spawn different quiz game apps. The platform was versatile and could support multiple game modes - from live tournaments to simple quiz games for millions of users. The operations were automated and it was possible to deploy, update or scale the complete stack with the click of a button.
