For almost a year, OMS has been working on a project to lift us, and our web streaming significatnly. The new framework, JAWS saw to the the beginning of this revolution in september, with the lauch of Aksjelive from E24. This is the first solution to take use of this framework and since, multiple solutions have been launched. Today, E24 launches its new stock pages with large amounts of data streaming to up to 20,000 concurrent users!
The first time OMS (then named Manamind) streamed data, was with Java applets in 1997, therafter in web browsers by 2003. However, this required loads of hardware to a very small number of users. The new framework, which is replacing NeWT, uses web sockets to stream large amounts of data to many concurrent users, with minimal latencuy, in this manner the new solutions will be able to endure higher pressure than before.
In addition, E24 has at the same time, been given a new design, with a more modern lookas well as becoming responisve. Moreover, this project is so exciting, that Øyvind, our CTO, held a presentation on the subject on a tech meetup last week.
