Project Summary

Celerik was hired to modernize a women's fitness brand's development environment and to develop and stabilize its mobile and web app. The engagement has included a system audit, creation of a roadmap, onboarding, environment setup, DevOps migration and code testing. The vendor has also worked to secure integrations (Stripe and platform payment gateways) and to prepare Android for market. The client reports good workflow and communication, and interim milestones have been met.

Key Challenges

Diversify and expand the app and backend development team
Modernize a Microsoft-stack system and hand off to a new vendor
Eliminate security vulnerabilities (exposed credentials) and upgrade outdated components
Improve documentation, onboarding, and development processes to stabilize the system for future work

Project Deliverables

System audit and roadmap
New development environments and DevOps migration
Upgrade of deprecated libraries and security remediation
Android app deployment and testing
Web integrations and payment gateway setup (Stripe, Apple/Android)
Documentation and handover support

Project Solution

Celerik performed a system audit, set up new environments and migrated the system to a new DevOps environment. They upgraded deprecated libraries, remediated security vulnerabilities (including exposed credentials), and created a short- and medium-term roadmap to address pressing issues. The team handled web integrations and payment gateway configuration (Stripe, Apple/Android), supported Android deployment/testing, and supported documentation and handoff calls to bring the vendor team up to speed with the client's existing systems.

Project Outcome

Interim milestones met: team onboarding, system audit, project plans, and environment setup
Code testing and integrity checks completed; effective workflow and communication using Microsoft Teams
