Project Summary

AnvilEight modernized a luxury rental company's booking flow and related mobile geolocation app by migrating datasets, implementing modular query functions, revamping the Django backend, and delivering single-page web apps hosted via AWS. The work produced a cost-effective, maintainable architecture and the updated site was selected as the primary host after a company acquisition, reflecting improved technical quality.

Key Challenges

  • Improve checkout flow and booking conversion through a single-page web app
  • Modernize the in-stay iPhone app to present local activities and geolocation queries
  • Migrate and modernize archaic backend engines to a modular, maintainable architecture

Project Deliverables

  • Geolocation mobile app data migration and query functions
  • Single-page web apps deployed as static files to S3
  • Revamped Django backend in Python
  • Front end built with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS
  • AWS-based infrastructure optimization

Project Solution

The team migrated the geolocations dataset and exposed it behind new software functions to support category-based querying in the mobile app. They used Amazon serverless patterns to keep code modular and cost-effective. For the website they revamped a Django backend (data managed in Python), rebuilt front-end single-page apps with HTML/JavaScript/CSS, and deployed pre-rendered static files to an S3 bucket for efficient hosting. The engagement included about six developers with two full-time front-end developers and a lead.

Project Outcome

  • The updated website was chosen as the primary host during a company merger
  • Delivered a modular, maintainable, and cost-effective infrastructure that improved the company's tech quality
