Project Summary

Flyte Solutions Ltd. built a custom backend system and real-time analytics engine for a software studio, integrating it with an existing React front-end and implementing an admin live-ops dashboard. The engagement included Node.js/MongoDB backend architecture, Redis-based event ingestion, Elasticsearch reporting, Firebase messaging, and AWS Lambda integration. Their work enabled the client to meet an aggressive launch window and rapidly iterate on product features based on near-real-time analytics.

Key Challenges

Develop a custom back-end system to support scalable game logic, reward algorithms, and user session management
Integrate backend services with an existing front-end interface to ensure smooth communication between UI and services
Build a real-time analytics engine to track user behavior, feature engagement, and monetization across regions
Support post-launch live ops infrastructure with an admin dashboard for internal stakeholders

Project Deliverables

Technical architecture documentation
Fully tested and deployed backend APIs
Admin dashboard with role-based access and live ops controls
Analytics and reporting system (real-time event ingestion)
Post-launch support and hotfix capability
Automated test suites and CI/CD pipelines

Project Solution

Flyte worked with the client's in-house design and strategy teams to define a phased roadmap and implemented backend architecture using Node.js and MongoDB. They developed APIs to connect React front-end components to backend services, created a custom admin dashboard with role-based access, and built a real-time event ingestion and analytics system using Redis queues and Elasticsearch. The team integrated Firebase Cloud Messaging and AWS Lambda for notifications and background processing, produced technical architecture documentation, delivered fully tested APIs, and established CI/CD pipelines and automated test suites to reduce integration bugs.

Project Outcome

Enabled the client to hit an aggressive launch window and deploy on schedule
Live ops dashboard allowed product team to tweak features without engineering involvement within a week of launch
Real-time analytics uncovered two major user drop-off points in the first 48 hours, enabling rapid iteration and reduced churn
Architecture choices eased scaling of backend capacity during unexpected traffic surges
