All Technologies Used
Motivation
The primary goal was to stabilize and enhance a Shopify app by addressing architectural inefficiencies, reducing errors, and implementing a robust testing system. The project aimed to improve scalability, streamline operations, and boost sales through innovative features like customizable pop-up notifications.
Main Challenges
The unclear microservice architecture and lack of documentation complicated the development process, requiring nearly a month to create detailed installation guides and establish a solid foundation for future work.
The lack of testing protocols led to application instability with minimal changes. A comprehensive testing approach was introduced to ensure reliability and smooth operation post-modifications.
The absence of a clear roadmap hampered task prioritization, slowing down progress and reducing overall efficiency. Establishing clear development plans helped streamline the workflow.
Key Features
- Streamlined Application Architecture: Refactored the existing microservice-heavy architecture into a more efficient monolithic system with clear component responsibilities.
- Technology Stack Optimization: Maintained Rails API for backend operations, Vue.js for frontend administration, and AWS Lambda for high-load tracking tasks.
- Customizable Features for Engagement: Implemented a Vue.js store app for dynamic notifications, enhancing customer interaction and boosting sales.
Our Approach
Project Impact
The revamped application is now stable, with improved performance and error-free operation, ensuring seamless integration of new features.
Enhanced scalability allows the system to easily handle high traffic during peak events, such as Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
