Client

Artifact Uprising

Denver, United States of America

Project Summary

NaNLABS provided staff augmentation to rewrite a photo-printing company's brittle React editing platform into a modern TypeScript React application. They focused on extensibility, test coverage, and incremental product releases to avoid expanding the client's full-time headcount. The engagement followed a scrum methodology and milestone-based releases, resulting in full product offering releases and maintained or improved customer order rates.

Key Challenges

Gain additional skilled resources to finish development of a large rewrite without expanding FTEs

Project Deliverables

Modern TypeScript React editing platform
Incremental product releases (frames, prints, books)
Improved test coverage and extensible component structure
Milestone-based release plan and feature iteration capability

Project Solution

NaNLABS supplied a 2-5 person team to rewrite the client's entire editing platform from a brittle legacy React app into a modern TypeScript React application with a redesigned component structure, improved test coverage, and support for extensible feature iteration. The team implemented an incremental release strategy to roll out product lines (frames, prints, books) in stages and supported both sprint-based and milestone-based delivery to meet tight deadlines.

Project Outcome

Releasing our product offerings in totality on the new platform
Building a firm foundation to test and iterate on the product experience
Ensuring customer order rate is at or above the prior editing experience
Delivered via scrum and milestone-driven processes with high responsiveness
