In the first post in this series, I covered a personal project: LG Console. In this post I’m going to discuss a project I worked on earlier in 2012 for Jenkat Media, Inc., a company I helped co-found back in 2007.
clvr.io
With JenkatGames.com we have had a long-standing problem: we don’t really have a good idea on how much a new user is worth to us. Much of our user base does not register with the site, and since the content is all free, there’s no transactions to track. We decided to start tracking various actions, starting with page views, that generated small amounts of revenue. To that end, we decided on deploying a small REST service on an external host and having our server hit it when a trackable action occurred.
Clvr.io was built using:
- Java SDK 1.7
- JAX-RS
- JSON
- MongoDB
- Jetty
