The client selected us due to our outstanding quality, as evidenced by our Clutch profile. Following interviews with the recommended team members, we were tasked with enhancing the team by integrating a group of developers deeply into the organization. This new team swiftly became autonomous, taking responsibility for essential areas of the system.
The Challenge
The system's architecture was highly intricate, leading to occasional data consistency issues, particularly in the communication between microservices. We were assigned the responsibility of developing a solution to streamline the data exchange among the different services.
Testing a distributed system of microservices can be a challenging endeavor. Manual testing and data injection were time-consuming tasks required before the release of new features.

Technical Challenges
Microservices Communication
The system's architecture was highly intricate, leading to occasional data consistency issues, particularly in the communication between microservices. We were assigned the responsibility of developing a solution to streamline the data exchange among the different services.
System Maintenance
As is our standard practice with all clients, we consistently advocate for the importance of keeping software gems and versions updated. Fundthrough specifically requested us to oversee the maintenance of their system, ensuring that all services are kept up to date.
Distributed Testing
Testing a distributed system of microservices can be a challenging endeavor. In this project, it presented a significant hurdle. Manual testing and data injection were time-consuming tasks required before the release of new features. Fortunately, our expertise and input played a crucial role in minimizing these challenges.
Bluevine Migration
The Bluevine migration presented unique challenges due to the client's acquisition of a similar company. Migrating the data proved to be difficult due to incompatibility and compliance differences between the systems.
Project Results
We were entrusted with enhancing an AWS Lambda-based API. The primary objective was to enhance its scalability and availability.
Upon the client's request, we augmented our team of seasoned engineers by adding a senior architect consultant. Given the complexity of the system, which was constructed many years ago, it was crucial to conduct an architecture audit and document it comprehensively. This documentation was essential for planning future improvements or refactoring efforts. Our consultant collaborated closely with the client's CTO and engineering directors, delivering an extensive document that provided a detailed overview of the entire application.
This project has solidified Visuality's position as a Fin-Tech development agency.
