Project Summary

ThirdEye Data provided outsourced Scala developers to build a superstructure on top of an existing Scala/Spark solution hosted on AWS, delivering around 60,000 lines of code and entering a second phase. The vendor's resources demonstrated the required technical and soft skills, met deadlines, and offered transparent pricing, leading to a contract renewal and addition of staff for the ongoing phase.
