Project Summary

Devox Software provided web development and platform-stabilization services for an educational tech startup, performing a discovery phase and restructuring the codebase. The team delivered a maintainable codebase using Node.js, React and AWS, enabling the product to scale while meeting feature demands.

Key Challenges

Review and restructure a large codebase accumulated over two years
Build a more efficient, distributed system capable of handling a large number of users
Deliver features beyond the MVP and implement 'happy path' functionality

Project Deliverables

Discovery-phase assessment highlighting critical platform parts
Re-structured codebase
New feature development (backlog items)
Core team resourcing (3 developers, QA, PM) with on-demand specialist support

Project Solution

Devox conducted a discovery phase to identify critical platform issues, then split team capacity to both restructure the codebase (30%) and deliver backlog features (70%). They supplied a core team (3 developers, QA, PM) and on-demand specialists (software architect, DevOps, UX/UI) and used the client’s stack (Node.js, Docker, AWS, React) to stabilize and extend the platform.

Project Outcome

Stabilized and streamlined codebase that is expandable for new features
Platform user base grew ~10x while infrastructure remained stable
