Project Summary
TechWings (formerly Mentalstack) provided staff augmentation to an energy-focused company's internal development team, delivering frontend and backend web components using AWS, Node.js/JavaScript, HTML5/CSS3, and Vue.js. The vendor implemented microservices and serverless patterns to deliver APIs and developer tools for a data-centric suite. The engagement was extended into an ongoing collaboration because the team adapted quickly to changing requirements and delivered high-quality work.
Key Challenges
- Build the product from scratch with fast, scalable architecture
- Ensure maintainability and ease of use for both client-side and development
- Implement an AWS-based, data-centric suite of tools for better visibility of company components
Project Deliverables
- Frontend application
- Backend application
- APIs and developer tools
- Microservices-based, serverless architecture
Project Solution
The vendor supplied multiple software developers (including two backend and two frontend developers) found via Upwork and vetted through technical interviews. They developed parts of the frontend and backend using AWS, Node.js, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and Vue.js, employing a microservices and serverless architecture. They delivered APIs and internal tools, iterated on requirements and architecture over time, and adapted to changing project needs.
Project Outcome
- The engagement was extended into a long-term collaboration due to the quality of the vendor's work.
- The vendor's developers handled high-complexity solutions well and the team can scale up and down based on business needs.
- Co-participative management enabled effective collaboration and timely delivery.
