Set the foundations for a scalable product
The Bach was already a flourishing startup facing new challenges related to their growth when we jumped in and joined their development team as Node.js engineers. Our goal was to help them continue to expand and make the product scalable.
We worked in backend development, focusing on two main challenges: a new microservice and tax collection improvement.
Our team and The Bach’s worked as a single one. Unlike other outsourcing projects, we don’t receive isolated development requirements, but we coordinate with their technical team, tackling the product's demands in each stage.
As the product expanded and more cities were added to the platform, creating a solid and scalable way to organize them and easily add more became necessary. To that end, we developed a new microservice in Node.js, based on a hexagonal architecture, on which The Bach API is built. This architecture is ideal for complex and scalable projects.
We focused on developing a new microservice to manage cities, categorize activities by location, and avoid errors and typing problems, as the information is unified with city identities.
We also built the tax collection integration that enables The Bach to handle the differences between various services and locations in a simpler way to make the system scalable. We integrated the system into libraries and APIs such as AJV, a library of JSON Schema Validation, ElasticSearch, a search server, and Stripe API to manage taxes.
The Bach is a growing startup facing the challenges of expanding their product to new places, users, and vendors. Our team focused on helping to professionalize processes and enhance their product to continue building a platform that is prepared to scale efficiently.
