Project Summary

Light IT Global was hired by a payment platform (SumUp North America) to extend and build APIs using Python and Django and to optimize the database. The vendor also developed additional APIs on FastAPI and built a donation portal that was hosted on Heroku. They delivered the work on time and within budget, communicated effectively, documented legacy code, and exceeded the client's expectations.

Key Challenges

  • Extend existing Tastypie/Django APIs to support partner use cases
  • Provide custom connection capabilities and APIs for larger clients
  • Work through poorly documented legacy code and thin PRDs

Project Deliverables

  • APIs (Django/Tastypie and FastAPI)
  • Database optimization
  • Donation portal
  • Hosting on Heroku

Project Solution

Light IT Global evaluated and passed the client's talent bar and delivered API development and backend improvements. They developed APIs on the client's Python/Django stack (Tastypie), extended API work to FastAPI, reasoned through and implemented database optimizations, navigated poorly documented legacy code and thin PRDs, and built a donation portal which they hosted on Heroku. Three vendor team members worked on the engagement.

Project Outcome

  • Completed on time and within budget
  • Improved API call speed
  • Managed database load generated by APIs
  • High unit test coverage and successful code reviews
  • Exceeded expectations with legacy documentation and data-model improvements
