We have developed a Facebook App as promotion of a brand. It is a card game involving 9 popular Serie A soccer players. Users exchange cards, promote the commercial on their Facebook profile or exchange a bunch of cards with the system. The people who complete their album get a signed T-shirt from one of the players.
The big challenge was timing of the contest. We had one
month to get this game live. The client was satisfied and even asked for some changes. In
1 month, we have had approximately 100,000 registrations and 1.2
million card exchange requests and 600 concurrent users! The efforts to
scale the
application was minimal as we use Engine Yard cloud cluster.
