Client Need
To create a modern component-based web application that can accommodate multiple purposes by connecting different front-end UIs to different back-end microservices. UI and microservices modules should be independent, use separate libraries, avoid using join database queries, and are dynamically merged to create a fully functional application.
Product Challenges
Create microservices and APIs so UI modules work independently yet operate seamlessly to significantly improve performance and user experience. Two main repositories are needed to house a collection of libraries: Common Components, for independent functional libraries, and Chassis, used to create and manage the state of the application.
The delaPlex Solution
delaPlex helped develop a dynamic web application that delivers significant performance and modularity all running in the cloud. UI rendering is in the web browser (HTML5 + JS lifecycle framework) handling validation of user input locally. Discrete domain-specific RESTful services handle complex validation, data storage/retrieval and business processes. Background tasks are managed via UI. Time consuming app background processes moved to a job service. Functionality requiring an immediate user response are added as C# services and are tightly coupled to the UI.
They are knowledgeable, professional, and engaged…
I have worked with a number of contract development teams and delaPlex resources are some of the best I have worked with. They are knowledgeable, professional, engaged…all the things you need to be successful managing software projects across the globe. (On a personal note, they are just so darn nice and fun!)
delaPlex developed a distributed systems platform to offer functional modularity and to application increase usability and performance.
