The team built backend services using PostgreSQL, GraphQL and Prisma ORM, deployed on AWS, and followed TDD and DDD practices with CI via GitHub Actions.
Project Outcome
- The bugs fixed and new features delivered had a positive impact on the percentage of users becoming paying subscribers.
- The team delivered high-quality, well-tested, bug-free software and maintained excellent project management and communication.
