The operation took approximately 3 hours, during which no major issues were faced. While at this moment, you might not see any difference except the panel is a bit faster, the new backend system gives us a lot of new options:<br /> <ul><br /> <li>All critical elements of the system are fully redundant. This means that we should be able to achieve very high uptime and system stability.</li><br /> <li>Reports and dashboards will be supercharged, getting approx 3-4 times faster.</li><br /> <li>New traffic registering engine will be able to forward popunders to advertisers landing page faster, resulting in improved conversions.</li><br /> <li>Greatly increased capacity - with the new system we are able to handle up to approx. 100M popunders a day.</li><br /> <li>Capacity can be easily and very quickly extended if needed, as the new backend is fully scalable.</li><br /> </ul>In the new backend system, billing system works in a slightly different way. While reports are still realtime, billing is not. Campaign budgets and account balances are no longer updated realtime, but every minute.<br /> <br /> In coming weeks we will be implementing many new features, including new powerful reporting engine. Stay tuned!
