Project Summary

A3 Logics served as the permanent development partner for an education-focused startup, building scalable web, Android, and native iOS applications. The vendor implemented a LAMP-stack backend (Linux, MySQL, Apache, PHP) with plans to migrate portions to Node.js, and provided a dedicated team of developers along with project and product managers. The apps have been published, scaled automatically to handle increased traffic, and produced measurable growth after press coverage. The engagement began in Jan. 2014 and remains ongoing.

Key Challenges

  • Deliver quality while remaining efficient with a startup budget
  • Protect intellectual property and prevent code cloning
  • Secure an ongoing, dedicated development engagement rather than a short-term engagement

Project Deliverables

  • Native iOS application
  • Android application
  • Scalable web backend (LAMP stack)
  • MySQL database-driven backend
  • Migration path to Node.js
  • A dedicated development team with project and product managers

Project Solution

A3 Logics acted as the client's permanent development team, building the solution on a LAMP stack (Linux, MySQL, Apache, PHP) and migrating parts to Node.js. The iOS application was developed natively while Android and web components relied on a centralized MySQL backend. The vendor provided a dedicated team with both a project manager and a product manager and maintained agile processes, documentation, QA and version stacks. The team of 10 full-time developers handled core development while part-time contractors were used as needed.

Project Outcome

  • Apps published and operating well with automatic scalability
  • Traffic increased by 2,000 users following press coverage
  • A dedicated, full-time team and a full-time project manager provided strong documentation and project governance
