Project Summary

Sombra developed a SaaS product by implementing a Java backend (AWS Lambda) and an Angular frontend, supplying a small team that worked from requirements and mockups. They provided hands-on development and regular coordination from August to November 2020. The vendor focused on knowledge transfer so the client could continue development in-house, and the client praised Sombra’s proactive approach and quality.

Key Challenges

The client had a very small internal team (2–3 people) and needed staff augmentation
Recruiting programmers in Sweden was difficult, requiring an offshore solution

Project Deliverables

Backend implemented in Java using AWS Lambda
Frontend implemented in Angular
Handover documentation and knowledge transfer to enable in-house maintenance

Project Solution

Sombra implemented the client's SaaS product from provided requirements and mockups by delivering backend and frontend code. The backend consisted of Java services implemented as AWS Lambda functions and the frontend was built with Angular. They supplied one backend developer, one frontend developer, and a project leader to coordinate work and hand off the product to the client.

Project Outcome

The client was able to take over development and maintenance with relative ease after handover
The vendor effectively educated internal staff on implemented solutions
The engagement worked well despite offshore coordination, leading the client to continue working with Sombra
