Front-end achievements
- We used a number of React hooks on the front end for a nice responsive design.
- We opted for Ant Design, an enterprise-class UI design language, and a React UI library with a set of high-quality React components as it is one of the best libraries for enterprises.
- We used Redux as a library to control the state of our React application and to provide an “unidirectional data flow”. Such an approach helps to manage and organize data more effectively and optimizes debugging.
- Redux-Saga works as a Redux middleware library for handling asynchronous side effects.
- There were also a lot of different charts in this project, which is why we used a Recharts library. In a nutshell, Recharts is a redefined chart library built with React and D3. Its main purpose is to help to develop charts with React. These are great because they are easy to combine and reuse.
- 100% of the project codebase is based on Typescript to ensure clear and readable code and avoid errors that could be a debugging nightmare.
- Finally, with Jest, we achieved high unit test coverage to minimize failures and simplify the regression testing.
Integrations
OpenDataBot API integration
Back-end achievements
- The SaaS platform is based on the micro-service architecture where each of the small services works in its own process and communicates with the others using lightweight mechanisms. This results in an absolute minimum of centralized management of these services and their autonomy.
- The team achieved seamless operation of the unlimited number of trackers with the possibility of both horizontal and vertical scaling.
- Incredibly speedy route tracking map generation was implemented.
- The same RESTful API for web and mobile applications enables usage by third-party developers
Scaling and Security
- Platform security is ensured by AWS, one of the world’s most common cloud platforms with the broadest capabilities for data centers across the planet.
- Each microservice is isolated and contained in its own Virtual Private Network.
- At request, each SaaS organization can be set as a separate physical instance, which will take performance to the next level.
- The web interface is located in the Content Delivery Network to facilitate the instant delivery of the static content to the users. This way, DDOS attacks are also prevented.
