Initially a task set by a customer consisted in creation of a product allowing the online creation of a book, placing an order, automatic book printing on a third-party service and taking a finished book in a delivery point.

A distributed system has been created for this program solution:

• Site

-- Google analytics has been connected

-- registration using account in social networks

• The master in books creation - the application, allowing the creation of a photobook in browser
• AppServer - the core of entire system through which most queries are passed
• pdfConverter - the service which modifies an xml description of a project into a pdf-file
• Files storage on Amazon S3
• The module for services working capacity monitoring

Project originality:

• First of all the project is of some interest for being a less-common service in our country
• The project is international: the customer is in the USA and the printing equipment is in Holland

Difficulties:

• The absense of complete terms of reference
• The presence of two customers and as a result - the absense of coherence
• Solid customer's participation in the project whereby the constant plans modification took place

Other project features:

• Most free monitoring and analytics tools have been engaged in the project
• Currently the customer directly contacts developers
