How to create an automated system for affiliate networks?

Question

Automation

How do you understand "an automated system for generating the presentation of database information". And what would you recommend for a more detailed study of this issue (books, resources)? I can roughly imagine what an automated system (AS) is, but the AC of forming the representation of database information does not really fit in my head. I need to create such a system and apply it to affiliate networks. I also heard a lot about affiliate networks, but again, somehow there is not a lot of information. What is needed is clear, but "what is made of" is not. And how do you see this program? Anyone?

Answer 1

Write from scratch? Maybe it's better to take the finished one as a basis and modify it for yourself? HasOffers ( www.hasoffers.com ) or Cake ( getcake.com ) are very good. If it does not fit and you need to write, then usually affiliate networks consist of a number of components:
- SQL transactional database for financial information and long-term data storage;
- Fast NoSQL database for transition processing;
- Base for storing and displaying statistics, for example ElasticSearch;
- On what to write the frontend for all this is a matter of taste.
Don't forget about data replication and fault tolerance.

What is the essence of the question? What do you need to know?
