Project Summary

Vazco provides analysis, refactoring and ongoing development support for a microschool builder's CodeClub and PrendaWorld sites. They examined the codebase, implemented fixes, taught Meteor and Mongo best practices to the client's developers, and produced reports and documentation. As a result, the client's site now performs roughly 5x better on load tests with fewer errors and improved speed.

Key Challenges

  • Needed Meteor experts to scale the CodeClub website.
  • Required ongoing refactoring and stabilization of the PrendaWorld site which is critical to the product.
  • Improve performance and reduce errors to support scaling.

  • Implementation of fixes and refactors
  • Ongoing advisement, mentoring, and documentation for the client's developers
