Project Summary

GLOBALDEV (formerly Steelkiwi) provided a travel guide startup with full‑stack development services, supporting front‑ and backend development for a web and mobile application using JavaScript and AWS. The vendor built a robust backend architecture that enabled quick translation and easy data management and continued to add features post‑launch. The team dedicated resources that worked closely with the client's internal staff and were noted for responsiveness.

Key Challenges

  • Build a product that handled a large amount of multilingual data
  • Organize the database to support translations across many languages
  • Deliver a robust backend to enable fast data updates and additions

Project Deliverables

  • Backend for mobile and web application
  • Frontend development
  • Backend architecture supporting multilingual data
  • Ongoing feature additions and updates

Project Solution

Steelkiwi built the backend of the client's mobile and web applications and contributed to frontend development. They implemented the backend using JavaScript and AWS, designing an architecture that made it easy to add and translate large amounts of data. After launch, the vendor continued to deliver additional features. The engagement included one backend developer, one frontend developer, and one project manager.

Project Outcome

  • Great backend architecture that enabled quick translation of the database
  • Responsive vendor team that integrated well with the client's staff
  • Mobile app launched in March 2020 with continued feature additions through Sep. 2020
  • Frontend quality was noted as weaker than the backend
