Project Summary

GLOBALDEV (formerly Steelkiwi) designed and developed a Django-based functional product for a startup ICANN-accredited domain registrar under a tight deadline, delivering a production-ready 1.0 release. The software is enterprise-grade, scalable, robust, and intuitive, and GLOBALDEV provided strong project management, clear communication, and high-quality engineering. The client targeted the Asia Pacific market and required localization and payment options.

Key Challenges

  • Move quickly while maintaining architecture and code quality
  • Overcome communication and trust issues with an outsourced partner
  • Convey nuanced business logic and implementation details to the vendor
  • Reduce overhead of specifying detailed feature requirements
  • Localize the product for the Asia Pacific market with localized UI, content, and payment options

Project Deliverables

  • Custom-developed Django web application
  • Microservices-based RESTful APIs
  • Front-end built with Bootstrap and jQuery
  • Integration and configuration
  • Tested production-ready 1.0 release delivered in Oct. 2014

Project Solution

We collaborated closely on custom development, integration, configuration, and testing. The backend used Python and Django with a micro framework for REST services and a robust RDBMS, stitched together via a microservices architecture. On the front end we utilized Bootstrap and jQuery. The vendor delivered the 1.0 release after about eight months (Feb. 2014 to Oct. 2014) and has continued active development since.

Project Outcome

  • Software performed very well, was robust, and easy to use
  • Delivered an enterprise-grade solution that scaled to high visitor and transaction volumes
  • Zero project-management issues; effective project manager mediated requirements and communication
  • Ongoing active development since the 1.0 release
