Case Study: ConnectedWeddings streamlines wedding planning with Facebook integration and Actian-powered open source infrastructure

ConnectedWeddings.com Makes Planning Easier via Facebook Integration

a major consumer application developer, New Gravity Ventures, faced the challenge of building a scalable, content-rich Facebook application for ConnectedWeddings.com. They needed to leverage existing book content and integrate Web 2.0 functionality for user-generated content. They engaged vendor Actian, leveraging its Ingres Database, as part of their solution.

Actian's Ingres Database was selected for its high performance, scalability in mission-critical environments, and cost-effective open source economics. This was part of an open source technology stack that enabled New Gravity Ventures to launch ConnectedWeddings.com with a zero-license-fee approach. The solution provided a scalable foundation that minimized upfront investment and allowed the platform to accommodate future growth and user demand cost-effectively.
