Scaling Web Development: a Widget Platform
In order to get the control of our websites, at Spilgames we decided to create a platform to ease the development process. The platform contains versioned widgets that get combined for building webpages. It also includes simple web tools for deploying and rolling them back and a native support for A/B testing. Our mission is keeping full control of what happens in our portals while being able to just increase the number of developers for getting more traction in our web projects.
Talk objectives:
- Explaining Spilgames' usecase for a massive web platform (around 50 strong domains worldwide!) and why Erlang was a great fit.
- Sharing the lessons learned about scaling the throughput while increasing the development speed by providing a robust platform.
- Showing the brand new www.spel.se portal just released in Sweden using this architecture and explaining the main differences with the old codebase.
Target audience: Erlang developers, web developers, software architects, project managers.
