Binom 2.0 Beta

[Neil]

So I see a message the other day on my Binom server about the new 2.0 Beta, I've been waiting for this for past couple years so just had to sign up

The new Binom is written in Go with a Clikchouse/Postgress DB, going to have fun playing with this.

Binom 2.0 Beta Test!
The new version of our tracker is in its final stage of development, and we want to invite you to participate in the beta testing! All you need to have is an active license and a clean server.

Binom 2.0 improves on several fronts:
- New< design
- Updated GEO and device databases
- New< architecture
- Ability to withstand up to 10 times higher loads
- Capacity to process more than 100 million clicks daily
- Up to 10 times faster report generation
- Capability to build larger reports
- Database that is 2 times lighter
- Increased redirect speed
- New multi-user features

Nearly all features from Binom 1.0 are already present in Binom 2.0 (with the exception of FB, Google, Aspect integration, Triggers, and several minor features).
Binom 2.0 receives updates regularly, and soon enough, it will not only incorporate the vast majority of features from Binom 1.0 but will also introduce new and exciting ones. As a beta tester, you will have direct contact with our product and development team, and your feedback will help us steer our development towards creating the best tracker.

Some screen shots

It looks pretty much the same just a bit more bootsrappy with a slight pastel colour scheme, still has a way to go I think but so for looks very promising. I hope to get a couple test campaigns setup later to see how it holds up under some pressure

An update to My favorite tracker Will surely love it

I noticed there are 30 events instead of 10, which is nice.

Do you know if you can process 10x higher loads on the same server specs, or is the complete maximum processing power increased if you have a 10x powerful server?

 

[Arif]

nice, I been waiting for this.

Does this support more than 10 tracking tokens on traffic sources?

Yes and there seems to be built-in events for push allow/deny as well

Don't know about performance as yet as still playing about with it, I'll ask at some point thought

Yes it does, you can add tokens above 10 using the Add Token button at the bottom. Don't know how many it can handle but i clicked it 10 times and got an extra 10 and the button was still there so guess it must go to at least the same as the events?

That's amazing, was the main feature holding me back from using this tracker.

Any recommendations on hosting to use on binom?

Depends on the amount of traffic you're going to send to it!

I'm currently testing on a Hetzner CX31 cloud server (8GB RAM), you can get €20 free credits using my link https://hetzner.cloud/?ref=s1BDrtcj51aU
DigitalOcean is another good choice but I think they're way over priced now!

Don't use Vultr though they don't like trackers!!

I am using falkenstein located hetzner cpx21. I was able to hand 1.3M clicks a day without any problems

I've got early access and been using it for about a month now. I wasn't running much traffic through it, so cant really say how it handles large volumes.

It feels basically the same from what I can tell, but apart from changing the core architecture (Go,ClickHouse) they have also implemented some nice features:

- finally it is now possible to run reports on offers and suppliers. Reports account for after LP clicks only, which I am not sure if it's great or not
- they have extended their API and now almost everything is possible without ever opening the tracker. It's also possible to access clicklog data via API, which is great for off site data analysis, but it's somewhat capped on how many clicks one can pull (which isn't great)
- extra 20 events is awesome

It's still beta and some of the UX features are still missing and will be implemented soon, but few things really bug me:

- no more new tab opening (I asked about it and was told they won't implement it)
- auto column sorting not working, who needs to see zoneids sorted alphabetically
- no auto resizing for columns
- font - I am not a fan of the font they went with (hurts my eyes) and have to use browser extension to block it
- MC integration is no longer supported, and currently only AdSpect is available (quite pricey)

There has been some improvement when it comes to clicks discrepancy, but the improvement was minor.

Overall all feels quite same to me, but I am sure with more lightweight architecture it will be more satisfying to work with 2.0.

Do you mean Magic Checker? As that is there as I was asked if i was going to use it when they set my server up

I do. Integration is supported but it doesn't work with the super filter as of now.

 

[Neil]

ah right, i was reading their site and seems there are a lot of things it won't work with like JavaScript, CDN's etc so personally I'd never be able to use it!

Seems strange that they wouldn't look to update it as everything is slowly moving to serverless/cloud based these days.

 

[Luke]

Looks real nice and it sounds like they've made some great improvements

Awesome work, @Binom!

Yeah and the dev is quite responsive when you send him messages too which is real nice.

 

[Akif]

@Binom

These features would be awesome:
1. Automatic cost integration with major traffic sources such as Propeller etc.
2. Start/stop creatives/zones from dashboard directly

 

[Neil]

The API is MASSIVE, looks like you can do practically everything via the API just check this out!!

Docs are little off, but

They must have been listening us talking about it
