Project Summary

Gecko Dynamics supplied two backend developers who worked as embedded members of a QA services firm's team (Testerly) to design and implement backend services for an IoT monitoring system. They delivered a backend service layer, REST APIs, a data ingestion pipeline, and deployment configuration. Deliverables were completed on schedule, passed integration testing, and met performance thresholds, while the developers participated in sprint ceremonies and communicated effectively.

Key Challenges

The client needed strong backend engineering capacity on short notice
The client required two senior backend developers who could integrate into the existing team and take ownership of server-side architecture
The project demanded engineers with expertise in distributed systems and real-time data ingestion from building sensors
The solution needed to handle complex, concurrent sensor streams without slowing other deliveries

Project Deliverables

Backend service layer
Documented REST API
Data ingestion pipeline capable of handling concurrent sensor streams
Database schema design and optimisation
Integration with third-party building management protocols
Deployment configuration aligned with infrastructure standards

Project Solution

Gecko Dynamics supplied two backend developers who embedded with the client's team to design and implement the server-side architecture for an IoT monitoring system for office buildings. Their work included building backend services for ingesting and processing real-time sensor data, developing REST APIs for the frontend dashboard, designing and optimizing database schemas, and integrating with third-party building management protocols. They also delivered deployment configurations aligned with the client's infrastructure standards and produced API documentation.

Project Outcome

The backend services were delivered on schedule and passed integration testing without major rework
The data ingestion pipeline handled concurrent sensor streams at load levels that met defined performance thresholds
API documentation was complete and accurate, enabling the frontend team to work without clarification requests
The project reached the UAT milestone on time and the client accepted the system without backend-related concerns
Developers integrated with the client's team, participated in sprint ceremonies, communicated blockers early, and absorbed scope changes without disrupting the timeline
