Project Summary

Waverley built the server-side components and backend APIs for a venture-backed home-robot product and developed the corresponding mobile app for remote user control. The vendor established modern development practices (CI/CD, code review, TDD) and a stable core team while augmenting with specialists as needed. Feature enhancements and ongoing support continue as an active engagement.

Key Challenges

  • Build backend services and APIs to support a novel home robot
  • Outsource server-side development cost-effectively while maintaining high quality during early-stage funding
  • Recruit reliable engineering talent and scale a distributed team integrated with the core company

Project Deliverables

  • Server-side backend components
  • Mobile app for major mobile platforms (iOS and Android)
  • Backend APIs
  • Microservices architecture
  • DevOps/CI-CD environment and tooling

Project Solution

Waverley designed and implemented the server-side backend and APIs to support the home robot and built the companion mobile app used to set up and operate robot functionality. The vendor provided architecture and project management leadership (led by Dmitri), recruited and maintained a Ukrainian engineering team, implemented microservices, and established CI/CD, testing, and code review processes adopted across the project.

Project Outcome

  • The vendor established CI/CD, testing, and code-review workflows that sustained the product long-term.
  • The core team remained stable and delivered flexible microservices enabling rapid iteration.
  • Waverley’s engineering and tooling practices were adopted as models by other teams.
