Yesterday we launched Mini Match, an application me and my colleagues from work wrote for Cartoon Network.
Late last year we opened a beta that was, unfortunately, short lived. Friday (May 30, 2008) we opened the system up on a much improved codebase for a few hours and had all systems “green”. Based on the positive success from Friday we opened it up yesterday.
It opened slowly at first with just a small advertisement on the Cartoon Network Games’ Page, and then a larger one on the same page and then we made the Cartoon Network home page with a small advertisement again. Today, I reckon, a larger advertisement will be put on the front page and we’ll really start to see traffic!
Some details on the application:
- Flash/Flex/AS/Whatever front-end GUI (really, it’s one of them)
- Java-based persistance server
- Rails-based funnel into the database with a bit of logic.
The Rails part is RESTful (for the most part) and is the “glue” of the application, to quote someone from IRC.
Today should be a fun day!
