Project Summary

Codibly modernized and scaled a web-based employee-survey platform for the client, adding a mobile-optimized survey tool, API-driven dashboard integration, and migrating the system to AWS for improved scalability. The engagement included code optimization, wireframing, and staged development using Python and React, and has met capacity and performance targets while continuing with a self-service module development.

Key Challenges

Outgrew the original software agency and needed a partner to build an improved platform
Needed more flexible survey capabilities to provide clients with real-time feedback
Required scalability to handle very large clients and fast load times

Project Deliverables

Web-based, mobile-optimized survey platform
Flexible survey tool with white-label capabilities
API integration connecting the app to a new dashboard
Migration to Amazon Web Services (AWS) for scalability and reliability
Wireframes and documented user stories

Project Solution

Codibly reviewed and optimized existing code, migrated the platform to Amazon Web Services to improve scalability and reliability, and collaborated on wireframing and user-story documentation. In three stages they developed the platform using Python with a React backend: building a flexible, mobile-optimized survey tool, integrating the app to a dashboard via an API for instant feedback and visualized results, and developing a self-service module for clients to deploy services year-round.

Project Outcome

Achieved capacity and load-time goals: features load within half a second and reports generate within a few seconds
Scaled to support clients with 100,000 employees and personalized dashboards for 4,000 managers
Improved development throughput with 140-150 story points per bi-weekly sprint and regular monthly releases
