Project Solution

The vendor rearchitected the client's 13-year-old MVC application into a microservice architecture. The project was organized into three phases: core shared functionality, critical base services, and core functional areas. The team implemented event streaming with Kafka and communication via gRPC and GraphQL (with Gloo) and used Golang for services. The vendor supplied a team of six senior software engineers and a UI/UX product design consultant to deliver the shared functionality and initial base services.

Project Outcome

  • Team successfully ramped up on unfamiliar technologies required for the project
  • Core components and shared functionality were delivered on time and provide a foundation for further development
  • Project management was structured and effective, using Slack and Atlassian tools for communication and documentation
  • Client reported strong satisfaction with the vendor's flexibility and ability to find high-quality personnel
