How did we “Solved” this problem?
Solvd joined the project when Slated realized that they needed a digital transformation. We took the following actions to reach the goals they set for us:
We developed an integrated messaging system for users and projects in order to provide quick communication within the website. The client asked for a solution that wouldn’t be a strain on resources and that could be deployed quickly. Initially, the messaging system that was used was by Django and it worked as a mailing system. Users had to refresh a page so that they could see the inbox updates. After we looked at three possible solutions, we chose Firebase. We integrated our new solution into the existing website, and the messaging system went from being an archaic messaging system to a modern live chat system.
We eliminated the slow page loading time issues and problems caused by their existing outdated technologies and legacy code diversity (70% Django, 30% AngularJS).
We reworked all of the operating logic within the Django and Angular pages. We resolved conflicts inside these parts before the project was completely migrated to Angular10. After the migration was done, we planned and removed the requirement for having to do full refreshes while navigating between pages.Detailed results
So far, we managed to achieve the following results for our client:
90% of website code rewritten from AngularJS and Django to Angular10
Integrated live chat for the registered users of the client’s website
Integration of third-party services and analytics
Code refactoring and the elimination of unused dependencies
Improved emailing procedures for every platform and device
Enabled the website to interact with external APIs while rendering fully compatible data
