Project Summary

Software Mind provided staff augmentation to a telecommunications provider (Alianza), supplying senior engineers who developed stateless microservices, improved QA automation and test coverage, and contributed to architectural improvements. The engagement increased development velocity, cleared a backlog of critical features and bug fixes, improved stakeholder satisfaction, and enhanced deployment frequency while integrating tightly with the internal team and agile processes.

Key Challenges

  • Accelerate development of the client's cloud-based platform by augmenting the engineering team with experienced software developers

Project Deliverables

  • Development of stateless microservices deployed via ECS
  • Documentation and knowledge transfer to internal teams
  • Ongoing QA automation and test coverage improvements
  • Participation in design reviews, retrospectives, and release planning

Project Solution

Software Mind provided senior engineers to support the client's internal teams during a period of high growth. Their developers contributed to mission-critical features and architectural improvements, developing stateless microservices deployed via Amazon ECS. They performed documentation and knowledge transfer to internal teams, implemented ongoing QA automation and test coverage improvements, and participated in design reviews, retrospectives, and release planning to integrate with the client's agile processes.

Project Outcome

  • Increased development velocity without increasing internal headcount
  • Cleared backlog of critical features and bug fixes, improving stakeholder satisfaction and reducing support escalations
  • Improved engineering throughput with increased story point completion per sprint and improved deployment frequency
  • Consistent, on-time (or ahead of schedule) deliverables and strong integration with internal agile processes
