Project Summary
STX Next supported a software product firm by building integrations with multiple data providers and expanding the Python/Django-based product, while also working on frontend features in AngularJS and ReactJS. The engagement began with two developers and scaled to four developers plus one QA, improving the client's delivery capacity. The client reported STX Next's responsiveness and developer quality as valuable to projects with major customers.
Key Challenges

- Integrate multiple external data providers with consistent processing and display.
- Build non-trivial data processing pipelines, cleansing, and full-text indexing to support integrations.
Project Deliverables
- Data integration pipelines and framework
- Data cleansing and full-text indexing framework
- Django backend features
- AngularJS/ReactJS frontend features

Project Solution
STX Next implemented data integrations with external providers, building data processing pipelines, cleansing routines, and a consistent integration framework that included full-text indexing. After successful trial integrations, they contributed to core product development, implementing backend work in Django and frontend work in AngularJS and ReactJS. The vendor integrated with the client's workflows via Slack, Google Hangouts and GitHub and scaled the delivery team from two developers to a team of four plus QA.
Project Outcome
- STX developers were integral to the success of projects for two of the client's biggest customers.
- Successful team augmentation integrated into the client's workflows and tooling (Slack, GitHub).
