Project Summary

AppUnite was hired to redesign an outdated Drupal web platform for Yogatrail, moving it to a new programming system and reorganizing the platform architecture. The team implemented an anonymized email system using Amazon SES and used AWS Lambda for parts of the solution. The engagement is ongoing and the vendor continues to support the platform on a part-time basis. Yogatrail is an online network for yoga professionals with nearly a quarter-million users.

Key Challenges

Outdated Drupal website
Required a complete redesign from scratch using a new programming language

Project Deliverables

Rebuilt web platform
Architecture and system design
Anonymized email system using Amazon SES
AWS Lambda functions
Frontend implemented with Vue.js

Project Solution

AppUnite organized and executed a rebuild of the client's web platform by defining the architecture and implementation approach. They used Elixir on the backend and Vue.js for the frontend, set up Amazon SES to handle anonymized user-to-user email, and implemented AWS Lambda where appropriate. The vendor provided project management and a small team (including a business development contact, a senior member, a developer, and a junior teammate) to deliver the work and ongoing maintenance.

Project Outcome

The full rebuild was not finished due to budget constraints
The client continued working with AppUnite on a part-time basis and plans to have them build and maintain the platform for a spin-off
The anonymized email system (Amazon SES) works smoothly and reliably
AppUnite delivered high-quality code, strong communication, and notable development efficiency
