Building a Scalable Content Rating Platform with Custom Web Application and Browser Extension
Introduction
deltAlyz Corp. developed a custom web application and multi-browser extension for an innovative content rating platform. The solution emphasized scalability, responsiveness, and robust backend architecture to support millions of users and vast amounts of data.
The Challenge
The platform aimed to rate the credibility of internet content using a collaborative, Wikipedia-style approach. Users could vote on the credibility of articles, posts, and reviews, similar to how search engines index web pages. The client required a solution that was:
Secure: Built with a zero-trust model to ensure data privacy and protection.
Scalable: Capable of supporting millions of users and processing ratings for hundreds of millions of web pages.
Responsive: Optimized for performance while prioritizing content over visuals.
Our Approach
We developed a robust and scalable solution through the following steps:
- Architectural Design:
- Designed a microservices-based architecture for high scalability and fault tolerance.
- Leveraged Docker and Azure Functions for efficient deployment and resource management.
- Website Development:
- Built a user-friendly web application using React, focusing on a clean and responsive interface.
- Implemented real-time updates to handle high user engagement and voting activities.
- Browser Extension Development:
- Created a lightweight extension that allowed users to rate and view credibility scores directly from their browser (Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and Edge).
- Integrated seamlessly with the web platform for synchronized data sharing.
- Security Implementation:
- Adopted a zero-trust model to protect user data and prevent unauthorized access.
- Collaboration with External Partners:
- Supported the platform’s entry into Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub, enabling access to additional resources and credits for scalability.
The Results
The project delivered a high-performing content rating platform that met the client’s ambitious goals. Key results included:
Recognition: Enabled the platform to gain significant traction and support through industry programs.
Scalability: Supported millions of users and ratings across vast data volumes.
Enhanced User Experience: Provided a responsive, easy-to-navigate web application and a browser extension for seamless interaction.
Improved Data Security: Ensured robust protection of user data through advanced security measures.
