Background

Enthusiast Gaming (EG) is one of the largest content networks on the web, providing key information platforms for a vast portion of the video gaming community. As a NASDAQ-listed company with the tagline “Gamers live here,” EG operates a complex ad placement system driven by a bidding process. Unlike traditional Demand Side Platforms (DSPs), EG utilizes a Supply Side Platform (SSP) to coordinate and manage the supply and distribution of ad inventories across their numerous websites.

Solution

Rollout IT has been integral to the development of EG’s advert management system, the ATOM Dashboard. A Rollout developer has been embedded with EG’s ad tech team for over a year, focusing on advancing the functionality and robustness of this system. The ATOM Dashboard streamlines the ad placement process, making it more efficient and scalable.

Objectives

The primary objectives were to:

  1. Enhance the ATOM Dashboard to improve ad placement efficiency.
  2. Integrate DevOps practices to streamline operations and support.
  3. Ensure the system’s scalability and robustness.

Progress

The project has made significant progress since its inception. Initially, the focus was on understanding the existing infrastructure and identifying areas for improvement. Over the past year, the Rollout developer has implemented several key features and optimizations. Notable advancements include:

  • Improved ad bidding algorithms.
  • Enhanced user interface for better usability.
  • Integration of advanced analytics to monitor ad performance.

Challenges

One of the biggest challenges in developing the ATOM Dashboard was managing the ripple effects of changes. Adjusting one component of the system often impacted other parts, requiring thorough testing and validation. Additionally, the robust and cloud-supported infrastructure presented opportunities for growth, particularly in DevOps. The evolving industry trend of developers becoming more involved in operations was both a challenge and an area for professional development.

Tech Stack

The technology stack for this project includes:

  • Kubernetes for container orchestration.
  • Laravel and PHP for backend development.
  • Vue.js for frontend development.
  • AWS for cloud services and infrastructure.

Client Interaction

Regular interaction with EG has been maintained through demo sessions, feedback loops, weekly status updates, and review meetings. This transparent and collaborative approach ensured that both technical and business needs were addressed promptly. The relationship between the teams has been positive and productive, fostering a strong partnership.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the development of the ATOM Dashboard for Enthusiast Gaming marks a significant advancement in ad management technology. By addressing the complexities of ad placement and the challenges of system interdependencies, the ATOM Dashboard stands out as a pioneering solution in the ad tech industry.

As Enthusiast Gaming continues to evolve and expand its digital presence, the ATOM Dashboard, supported by Rollout IT, will play a crucial role in streamlining operations, enhancing ad efficiency, and ultimately driving the company’s growth. The successful integration of DevOps practices and the collaborative efforts of the dedicated team have set a new standard for ad management systems in the gaming industry.

Did you know that developers spend an average of 17.3 hours per week debugging code? That's nearly half of a typical work week! But what if we told you there's a tool that could dramatically reduce this time and boost your overall productivity? Cursor AI is the new Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that's revolutionizing the way we code and debug.
Did you know that Google's monorepo contains over 2 billion lines of code across 9 million source files? This staggering scale highlights the immense challenges developers face when working with large codebases.  Git, the distributed version control system created by Linus Torvalds, has become the de facto standard for managing source code. Its powerful branching and merging capabilities make it an excellent choice for handling code repositories. However, as we'll see, Git faces some challenges when dealing with extremely large repositories. Today we will learn about how developers can easily manage the monorepo codebase in git using git’s sparse index feature.
In software development, AI-powered tools have emerged as a developer productivity suite, and Cursor AI is at the forefront of this improved productivity workflow.  As seasoned developers, we've seen many IDEs and code editors. But when Cursor AI burst launched, it was clear that this was something special. In this article, we'll dive deep into why Cursor AI is winning the hearts (and keystrokes) of developers worldwide.
In the world of mobile app development, developers are always looking to improve efficiency, speed, and reliability. Rust is a programming language that's becoming more popular for this reason.
