There are several APIs, SEO plug-ins, database features, page builders which made this project a perfect challenge of building a scalable web application rich with features.
The biggest challenge of the project was rendering the images that are pulled from the 3rd party APIs fast enough for the users. Based on the search keywords, the search mechanism have to pull up images from own database, several 3rd party APIs and render them in order of preferences set by the back-end logic. The other key challenge of the project was to deploy a back-end page builder engine, that builds and deploy web pages based on searched keywords if the page doesn’t exist.
This project was approached with a 5 member dedicated ODC team for the customer, where monthly sprint plans were made and based on customer priorities, features were rolled out to the live portal. Robustness of the application platform was key, hence an entire sprint was dedicated for database and application architecture where high availability and scalability demands were visualized and added to the solution architecture.
