Leading from the Edge: The Technology Gamble That Paid Off
- G+D Netcetera’s Forward Publishing powers online news sites and mobile apps for regional newspapers in Germany and Switzerland.
- The architecture design involved a reverse-proxy cache in front of content backends with short TTLs to balance throughput and content freshness.
- Reworking the backend architecture was deemed necessary due to redundant computation in processing requests for relatively unchanged content.
- The new approach aimed to move computation from request time to change time, fetching pre-denormalized content from a content event hub for efficiency.
- RAMA was chosen to simplify rendering, event-sourcing, and the database structure, improving system topology.
- An incremental content denormalization engine built using RAMA offered real-time, always-up-to-date content for customers.
- The transformation led to significant improvements in content propagation speed, system load handling, and database query simplification.
- Fully committing to bleeding-edge technology like RAMA carried risks but also drove the team, product, and business to new levels of success.
- Taking risks and committing to innovative technology can lead to substantial impacts on product development and business growth.
