Overview

Program-Ace built iQU a high-load affiliate advertising platform for the games industry, handling targeting, tracking, analytics, and financial automation at the scale of millions of daily impressions and conversions.

The challenge

iQU needed a platform that could handle millions of daily impressions and conversions without faltering, integrate game products with payment and automation systems, and give advertisers the analytics to optimize campaigns. The hard part was building a 24x7 high-load backend that stayed reliable at that scale.

The solution

Program-Ace built a high-capacity advertising network with targeting, tracking, analytics, and financial automation.

A targeting module driven by data-intelligence rules.
A tracking engine for conversion-source attribution and re-targeting.
An analytics system for A/B testing and KPI insight.
Financial automation for invoicing and revenue statements.
Integrations with Salesforce, Twinfield, and CDN providers.
Technology and approach

How we built it

The platform runs on a PHP and Node.js backend with MySQL and Redis for high-throughput data, built to sustain a 24x7 high-load workload of millions of impressions and conversions, with multi-channel ad delivery and third-party integrations layered on top.
