Project Summary

A healthcare-inventory company (Z5 Inventory) engaged InApp to rebuild its legacy monolithic platform into a modern, microservices-based system. InApp implemented a primarily JavaScript backend, consolidated mobile code into a single JavaScript codebase, and implemented containerized deployments (Kubernetes) plus DevOps automation. The vendor’s code passed quality checks (SonarQube, JavaDoc) and the client praises InApp’s execution, organization, and responsiveness. The engagement began in June 2016 and remains ongoing.

Key Challenges

Replace an outdated monolithic single API server with a modern microservices architecture
Add big data capabilities, containerized deployments, and high security
Consolidate mobile development into a single JavaScript codebase and automate deployments via CIPD/DevOps

Project Deliverables

Microservices-based platform replacing the legacy monolithic API server
JavaScript-based backend and single JavaScript codebase for mobile (avoiding separate Android/iOS codebases)
Containerized deployments with Kubernetes configuration
CIPD pipeline and automated deployment/infrastructure rollout (DevOps)
QA and testing coverage across layers

Project Solution

InApp rebuilt the client’s legacy monolithic API server into a microservices-oriented platform with big data capabilities and high security. They implemented a primarily JavaScript backend, developed a single JavaScript codebase for mobile to avoid separate Android/iOS codebases, and provided DevOps support to configure CIPD pipelines and automate deployments using containerized deployments (Kubernetes). InApp also delivered QA and testing services and executed the client's architectural specifications.

Project Outcome

Code quality met SonarQube and JavaDoc standards according to the client
The platform is scalable and responsive and meets the client's architecture and design requirements
Effective project management and tooling (Atlassian suite, daily stand-ups) kept development organized
