Community Site:
This site provided a set of community features to enable participants to engage in lively political oriented debate. Features included profile pages, registration, rights, roles, RSS, discussion boards, voting, polls, content tag analysis, movers and shakers, online video and search. The site had end user features as well as in situ and separate administrative features. It was a service oriented architecture running with several different clusters of machines, so that there was redundancy and balancing across tiers. We built operational monitoring and also performed a breadth of service outage tests to make sure the site would survive any of the tiers or services going down, albeit with degraded performance. It handled Today show scale shortly after launch without trouble.
.NET, Ajax, SQL. The community features were built using our community library software. The search system was built on top of Lucene, with extensions for some of the community features. We used a mix of load balancing techniques for machine balancing, and built database, service and fragment caches.

eCommerce Site:
This system provides a media rich online catalog for a B2B eCommerce company. The system includes user registration, rights and roles, administrative capabilities, catalog management, and search. Users can control the catalog individually or in bulk. Site access is controlled by roles, so different types of users are exposed to different functionality. Administrators also have tools for modifying the site design.
Java, HTML, SQL. The search is a faceted search system built on top of MySQL. Because traffic is not high, it is built with a traditional 3 tier model instead of an SOA design, although it does employ a segmented database design.
