About the Client

Our client is a leading food delivery service offering personalized and high-quality meal plans delivered to customers’ doors. Their platform enables efficient meal planning for households.

THE CLIENT'S  INITIAL REQUEST

The company wanted us to improve their existing platform’s backend and frontend to align with best practices. They required a specialist to quickly enter the project and adapt to start working on the following tasks:

Optimize Frontend Components

Refactor the frontend part of the solution to align with the existing code guidelines to improve performance and maintainability.

Migrate Legacy Services

Move legacy PHP elements to modern technologies to improve system reliability and prepare the solution for future scalability.

Review Current System Specifics

Analyze backend performance, system architecture, and infrastructure to identify optimization opportunities, including evaluating potential integration points with Microsoft Business Central.

SOLUTIONS WE DELIVERED

To modernize the client’s legacy system, our employee focused on improving code quality, scalability, and performance:

Code Refactoring

Revamped the frontend codebase using React by restructuring components, improving rendering logic, and aligning everything with modern development standards. We also enhanced internal data-flow patterns to ensure smoother integration with updated backend services and support future scalability.

Legacy System Improvements

Migrated the backend from PHP to Node.js and Express.js for improved performance and scalability. Additionally, we introduced Microsoft Business Central integration to streamline operational workflows.

Infrastructure Setup

Configured Amazon DynamoDB tables and indexes to optimize data retrieval for a better user experience. We also prepared the backend architecture for smooth communication with Business Central API.

Improvement Suggestions

Identified the most suitable combination of AWS SQS and SNS services based on the specifics of the architecture, services, and requirements for inter-service communication. We additionally recommended extending this messaging layer to Business Central to support automated order-handling flows.

RESULTS ACHIEVED

Optimized menu search and ranking features for a more personalized user journey.

Refreshed Backend
