Apps reporting

We developed a one-page admin workplace for the Plato Team to track the life cycle of their multiplayer hybrid games.

Client and challenge

The Plato Team is an ambitious startup founded by Yahoo veterans with extensive experience in Yahoo Games under their belt. They developed a platform for multiplayer games that combines the elements of instant chat, gaming, matchmaking, player ratings, and more.

To track the life cycle of their solutions, the client used a single-page apps reporting table with dynamic data. It allows for monitoring the deployment status of multiple apps across versions, platforms, and environments. Additionally, it provides insights into what has not been deployed or delivered to end users yet.

Apps reporting was based on the open-source programming language Golang. The client wanted to enhance the front-end UI design to make it more interactive for better visualization purposes.

What and how we did

First, we optimized the back end to make it compatible with the new front end. Then, we redeveloped the front-end part from the ground up using Vue.js and TypeScript.

Due to the lightweight and flexible nature of Vue.js, data from external sources, coming in the JSON format, is easily distributed across corresponding fields. Rows containing information that exceeds a set value become expandable for easier navigation. TypeScript enabled us to write type-safe code, which is practically immune to runtime errors.

The client received a secure admin part with transparent insights into app history over the Internet.
