OmniTI is a provider of web infrastructures and applications for companies that require scalable, high-performance, mission critical solutions. They specialize in providing complex, high-transaction, and large-volume data applications. One of their customers is Viggle, a mobile app that rewards people for checking into the television shows they are watching. Viggle has more than a million users, and its advertisers include Pepsi, Kraft, and Capital One.
OmniTI designed the server architecture for Viggle’s mobile app and also designed the internal APIs that connect Viggle’s multiple back-end services, creating a cohesive, fault-tolerant system. OmniTI chose Riak as an integral part of this system, providing high availability and low latency during peak times.
“For this architecture, near-zero downtime and sustaining high throughput with low latency are critically important,” said Theo Schlossnagle, CEO of OmniTI. “We needed Viggle’s key components to remain available and responsible under sudden floods of user traffic, which made Riak the perfect fit. Riak has not disappointed us and has performed exactly as needed for this application.”
