Project Summary

STRV provided custom software development and infrastructure support to a gifting company (floral e-commerce), modernizing a legacy CakePHP stack to Next.js and AWS. They delivered consulting, code-along development, Terraform deployments, and Playwright end-to-end tests, and helped the client deploy new infrastructure and code. The engagement unblocked the internal team and resulted in an end-to-end live system and a more scalable codebase.

Key Challenges

Small internal team lacked dedicated infrastructure and architecture maintenance.
Needed frontend expertise in Next.js to modernize a 15-year-old CakePHP legacy stack.

Project Deliverables

Next.js frontend implementation
AWS infrastructure and Terraform deployment
Playwright end-to-end tests
Consulting, architecture recommendations, and code-along support (mini SOWs)
Three-month support retainer

Project Solution

STRV provided phased engagement starting with consulting and recommendations, then coding alongside the client’s team. They implemented the frontend in Next.js, built and deployed AWS infrastructure using Terraform, and created Playwright end-to-end tests. The engagement included architecture guidance, mini SOWs for phases, and a three-month support retainer while transferring ownership to the client's team.

Project Outcome

Deployed new infrastructure and code, bringing the system end-to-end live.
Unblocked the internal development team and enabled successful deployments.
Set the project up for a more scalable codebase through recommended refactoring.
