Show HN: Mashup of Amazon.de and Facebook Likes for finding Christmas presents
- gsgou 13y agowow for me the suggestions where matching really good, what technologies did you used?
- Eduard 13y agoThanks for the support! Actually, we have been using quite a lot technology in the background in order to make geeshenk work. Client-side, we use Ember.js. Server-side, we use Spring Framework running inside a Jetty servlet container. Spring includes a component called "Spring Social". It takes care of communicating with Facebook's Graph API. I had to write a shim which adapts Spring Social to my domain model. For querying Amazon's database, I have written a proprietary library. It connects to Amazon's "Product Advertising API" SOAP endpoint, and caches products in a JPA-accessed MySQL database. Those products can then forwarded to the client in JSON form.
