Challenge
One of the most frequent practices today for companies that have more than one website is to gather data from all the websites to collect and analyze just by using only one source. The same approach was used by HIMSS, an American company specializing in healthcare — they had more than 20 conference websites that had different data about users’ behavior and needed to store the data in one space to transfer it next to their analytics service. The task was to develop the unified storage so the company could store data from all their websites just in one place.

The task was to develop the unified storage so the company could store data from all their websites just in one place.
Solution
We came up with a solution to develop the unified storage as a separate website based on Drupal which would use its API to collect data from other websites. In other words, we developed a micro service to collect and store data from all HIMSS websites. In 2018 the conference was attended by a record number of users which was about 45 000 just in 7 days and affected the performance. Realizing the fact that the server would not be able to work as expected, we managed to update the unified storage so it would:
– store the data for much longer than before as it might have been needed in the future after the conference
– serve as the previous analytics service so the company could continue operate at a conference as planned

Results
As a result, not only did we manage to develop a unified data storage so the company could keep their data from different sources just in one place, but also replace analytics services that did not work as expected.
