Newx2018 Development Success Story

High-Level Features Description

General

We developed a comprehensive e-commerce system containing queues, custom algorithm to locate a purchased bauble on a tree and integration with payment systems with separate versions for mobile, tablets and PCs. Our development Team faced three main challenges in this project:

1. First challenge was locating bauble on the tree – the tree is a triangle and as all developers know, triangles are not “native” for a webpage. Webpage is built from blocks and in order to locate baubles with 7 different sizes dynamically we had to write a complicated algorithm that calculates the location of each bauble on the tree. Moreover, we successfully enabled new baubles shifting down the old ones.
2. Second one was to proceed a large amount of purchases simultaneously while keeping the correct order of the proceeded purchases. We found and implemented a custom queue solution that ideally fitted this requirement.
3. Last but not the least was the tremendous number of small details such as real-time image processing. We are combining several different images to create beautiful postcards.

Here is the partial list of features we successfully developed in this project:

• Integration with the payment system
• Queue for purchased baubles
• Custom algorithm for locating baubles on the trees
• RT image processing, creating new images on the fly
• Personal account pages
