Case Study: VUniverse achieves faster, better movie recommendations with Ideamotive’s Ruby on Rails and Neo4j development

VUniverse reduces data imports by 50% with Ideamotive

VUniverse, an innovative streaming content aggregation platform, came to Ideamotive with the challenge of building a key part of their back-end: a recommendation system capable of processing humongous amounts of data from multiple streaming services. Their need was for outstanding web development talent to create this efficient system for providing spot-on movie and TV show recommendations, which is their core competitive advantage.

Ideamotive assigned a dedicated Ruby on Rails developer who implemented a solution using the Neo4j Graph Platform to handle the complex data relationships. This technology allowed for deeper and faster queries, which resulted in data import times being reduced by half for better responsiveness. The team corrected countless bugs, significantly increased customer experience, and developed a test architecture. Thanks to Ideamotive's work, the client quickly reached MVP, their product was completed, and they were named a finalist for a SXSW Innovation Award.
