Project Summary
Qualitance designed and built the core platform for Gainfully, a marketing and communication platform for financial advisors, using Django REST Framework, Celery, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ and Elasticsearch with Angular and Vue frontends. The vendor provided backend and frontend engineers across multiple phases and managed AWS-hosted infrastructure with Ansible. The client praised Qualitance's technical skill, flexibility, communication, and UX contributions.
Key Challenges
- Build the initial backend and frontend platform (initial 2017 engagement).
- Transition work as the client moved to a mostly in-house engineering team around 2020.
- Re-engage vendor to round out the in-house team with additional full-time engineers, mostly frontend.
Project Deliverables
- Core platform (backend and frontend)
- Backend services using Django REST Framework
- Celery-based task queues
- PostgreSQL database
- Elasticsearch integration
- AWS-hosted infrastructure managed with Ansible
- Angular and Vue.js front-end UIs
- SAML SSO implementation
- Social media integrations (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter)
- Email integration via Mailgun
Project Solution
Qualitance designed and built the platform's core backend and frontend. The backend uses Django REST Framework with Celery for background tasks, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and RabbitMQ; infrastructure is hosted on AWS and managed with Ansible. The frontend was split between the original Angular UI and a new Vue UI; the team implemented integrations (Mailgun for email, social sharing to Facebook/LinkedIn/Twitter) and a SAML SSO for enterprise clients. Qualitance staffed the project across phases and provided full-time and short-term QA support during launches.
Project Outcome
- Engineers integrated quickly and contributed effectively to sprint work.
- Frontend engineers developed and began implementing a migration plan to unify Angular and Vue UIs.
- The team improved the core system beyond assigned tasks and provided valuable UX/design suggestions.
