Objective:
To assist the client in developing a robust VPN system and its billing component, leveraging modern technologies and practices to enhance their existing product.
Challenge:
The client needed additional development resources to support their product development efforts. Specifically, they required expertise in creating and integrating a VPN system and its associated billing functionalities into their existing platform. The primary challenges included:
- Local Testing: Ensuring effective local testing capabilities for the VPN system.
- Team Communication: Coordinating efforts and communication with other teams involved in the project.
Solution:
We augmented the client's development team, focusing on enhancing their existing system rather than building from scratch. Our team worked diligently on developing the VPN system and its billing component, integrating these features seamlessly into the client's existing infrastructure.
Our Team consisted of 1 Team Lead and 5 Fullstack Developers.
Technologies:
The project utilized a comprehensive tech stack to ensure scalability, performance, and reliability:
- Microservices Architecture: To enhance modularity and maintainability.
- JavaScript & TypeScript: For robust front-end and back-end development.
- React: For building a responsive and dynamic user interface.
- Express: To handle server-side logic efficiently.
- MongoDB & Mongoose: For database management and object data modelling.
- Docker: To create containerized applications ensuring consistency across different environments.
- Redis: For caching to improve application performance.
- AWS Services:
- S3: For secure and scalable storage.
- Lambda: To run code without provisioning or managing servers.
- SQS & SNS: For reliable messaging and notification.
- DynamoDB: For fast and flexible NoSQL database services.
- Terragrunt: For managing infrastructure as code.
- Jest: For testing the JavaScript codebase.
Results:
- Enhanced Product Functionality: Successfully developed and integrated the VPN system and billing component, meeting the client's requirements and timelines.
- Improved Testing Capabilities: Overcame local testing challenges by implementing Localstack, enabling more effective and reliable testing environments.
- Effective Team Collaboration: Navigated and mitigated communication challenges with other teams, ensuring seamless project execution.
- Timely Execution: Completed all assigned tasks within the specified timeframe, contributing to the client's ongoing product development efforts.
This collaboration enabled the client to leverage our expertise in various technologies and development practices, ultimately enhancing their product's functionality and reliability.
