Client: Jump Ramp Games is a dynamic and rapidly expanding mobile-first company headquartered in New York. Renowned for its pioneering approach to mobile casual gaming, Jump Ramp Games has established itself as a leader in delivering innovative promotional experiences. With a user base of over 24 million, the company offers a unique platform where brands can engage audiences through interactive ad campaigns. Users, in turn, are rewarded with tokens and cash prizes by participating in entertaining games like digital scratch cards.
Challenge: Jump Ramp Games faced significant challenges with an outdated monolithic code base that hampered performance and flexibility. Frequent errors due to the obsolete PHP stack were a constant issue, overwhelming teams with error notifications. The lack of a robust event scheduling system and smart fallbacks further complicated operations, leading to inefficiencies. Additionally, underutilized AWS resources resulted in unnecessary costs, straining the company’s budget.
To maintain its competitive edge and enhance operational efficiency, Jump Ramp Games needed a strategic partner who could not only revamp its technology stack but also streamline its processes.
Solution: To address the challenges faced by Jump Ramp Games, Strategic Systems International (SSI) implemented a comprehensive technology and process overhaul. SSI’s approach began with completely refactoring the outdated code base, transitioning it to modern, scalable Java microservices architecture. This shift not only improved system performance but also enhanced the platform’s reliability, leading to a significant reduction in errors and downtime, particularly during peak usage periods like weekends.
SSI also restructured the AWS infrastructure, optimizing resource allocation and implementing cost-effective strategies that substantially lowered operating expenses. Automated processes and deployments were introduced, streamlining operations and reducing manual intervention, further improving efficiency across the board.
SSI’s dedicated team worked closely with Jump Ramp Games to refine internal workflows and enhance intracompany collaboration. This collaboration not only stabilized the platform but also positioned the company for future scalability and success.
