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:

Enhance the ATOM Dashboard to improve ad placement efficiency.
Integrate DevOps practices to streamline operations and support.
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.

Vibe Coding : Benefits, Challenges, and Debugging

Vibe Coding is the process of developing AI-driven applications in a flow-based, intuitive manner, where developers build prompts, logic, and workflows rapidly, often without writing traditional code. This approach emphasizes creativity, flexibility, and speed, allowing teams to iterate quickly without being constrained by traditional development lifecycles. Focuses on rapid iteration, natural language, and modular building blocks. Popular in environments using LLMs, chatbots, and generative AI products. Empowers non-traditional developers (project managers, designers, analysts) to prototype AI features. Encourages exploration and experimentation with model capabilities. Lowers the barrier to entry for creating intelligent systems.

API-First Development: Seamless Integration Between Enterprise Systems

Many enterprises struggle with outdated systems that don’t work well together. As businesses grow, they add new software and tools, but without a solid integration strategy, these systems become disconnected and difficult to manage. Traditional development often treats APIs as an afterthought, leading to slow development, high maintenance costs, and limited flexibility. API-first development takes a different approach. Instead of building software first and figuring out integrations later, it starts with designing APIs as the foundation. This ensures that all systems, whether internal tools, customer applications, or third-party platforms, can connect smoothly from the beginning. The result? Faster development, easier system upgrades, and a more scalable, future-ready architecture.

Mobile Learning: Designing Apps for Education

By 2025, the mobile learning market is expected to reach around $94.93 billion and is projected to grow to $287.17 billion by 2030, with an annual growth rate of 24.78%. With smartphones becoming more widely accessible, mobile learning (m-learning) has become an essential part of modern education. This rapid growth reflects a shift in how people access education, making learning more flexible, interactive, and personalized. Whether it's students looking for supplementary resources, professionals upskilling on the go, or educators seeking innovative teaching tools, mobile learning apps have revolutionized the way knowledge is shared and consumed. As technology continues to evolve, the demand for well-designed and engaging educational apps is higher than ever, shaping the future of learning across all age groups.

CI/CD Solutions: Automating the Development Process

In modern software development, Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) have become essential for delivering high-quality applications at speed. By automating the development pipeline, CI/CD solutions reduce manual effort, minimize errors, and enhance software reliability. These solutions help organizations scale efficiently while ensuring robust software releases. This article explores the significance of CI/CD, its key components, popular tools, best practices for implementation, and technical considerations for DevOps engineers and agencies, including advanced topics such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC), security integration, microservices deployment, and multi-cloud strategies.

Data Centers’ Energy Consumption : Balancing Digital Demand and Sustainability

Data centers keep our digital world running—everything from streaming movies to using AI tools. But they also use a lot of electricity. This can lead to big questions: How do data centers affect the environment? Who controls them, and why does it matter? Can we make them more efficient and sustainable?
