System: iOS and Android app to allow users of a SaaS platform to enter OTPs remotely
Client: MePATool
Technologies: Apache Cordova, Javascript, Perl
Problem: Users need to provide OTPs to automated processes so they can log in to the target portal.
Solution: When automated processes encounter a request for an OTP a push notification is sent to the users device. The user is able to provide the OTP directly in the app and this is relayed back to the waiting process, which can then proceed.
System: The Golang-based application comprises core application GUI, which may be hosted separately, and is designed to operate in the low latency environment of a local network. Arbitrary event-driven show logic is supported via an internal scripting system. Rapidly changing data is cached externally (with Memcached) to prevent loss of state in the event the core application goes down.
Client: Technical Productions
Technologies: Golang, Echo, Javascript, MySQL, Memcached
Problem: A centralised piece of software is needed to coordinate sound, lighting and other IoT devices in interactive show venues.
Solution: Devices, device commands, network setup, show "actions" and responses to events can all be defined by show operators to create arbitrary show scenarios. The software interfaces with popular software favoured for sound and lighting, and includes a versatile distributed dashboard scheme which allows custom dashboards to be created that can be hosted across multiple machines.
System: Distributed web-automation application simplifying tasks on a public sector ecommerce portal
Client: MePATool
Technologies: Perl, Javascript, Mojolicious, Hypnotoad, SQL
Problem: The workflow required for public sector ecommerce in a particular jurisdiction can slow down business.
Solution: 7 subsystems have been created and are maintained by Virtual Blue, including client executables, API, Web Admin and web-automation processes. Multithreaded headless Chrome instances are controlled via a custom process management system. Rendering browsers tend to be memory hungry which is one reason the system is distributed across several servers, in order to cope with traffic spikes. Recently very low error rates have been achieved.
