stonefruitsoftware/riotrank

Inspiration

I was inspired to try something new and attempt to solve a problem with code.

What it does

Riotrank is an API that provides power rankings for league of legends esports.

How we built it

The project was built by a solo developer trying out some new tools. Deployment was the biggest learning curve and was a bit of a road block in the beginning but once that was sorted out building what APIs there are was relatively simple.

Challenges we ran into

The seer amount of data posed a challenge and made it difficult to come up with an algorithm for ranking teams.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Created and deployed a working webapp in only about a week

What we learned

I learned a lot about AWS services that I wasn't completely familiar with previously. I also utilized Docker to manage my infrastructure which I hadn't done before

What's next for stonefruitsoftware/riotrank

I would still like to come up with a better algorithm for power ranking teams
