About the client

Our client is a technology-driven company focused on innovative solutions for distributed computing and job dispatching. They are developing a platform to facilitate seamless computation job dispatching across multiple cloud providers, including AWS, Google Cloud, and SF Compute. The project required creating a visually appealing and user-friendly frontend interface while integrating external systems for authentication and payment processing.

Business challenge

The client faced the challenge of delivering a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) within a tight two-week deadline.
This included:

External System Integration: Secure and seamless integration with authentication (Cognito) and payment processing (Stripe).
User-Friendly Interface: A sleek and modern GUI aligned with the client’s branding, ensuring an intuitive user experience.
Job Dispatching Workflows: Smooth workflows to dispatch computation jobs to various cloud providers, requiring compatibility with the backend system.
Tight Timeline: The team had to deliver the MVP quickly while maintaining high standards for performance and usability.

The frontend team worked closely with the client’s backend developers to ensure seamless integration and functional harmony between system components.

Team composition

Frontend Developers (2): Developed the user interface, integrated external services, and ensured seamless interaction with backend APIs.
UX/UI Designer (1): Created designs in Figma, focusing on a modern aesthetic and user-friendly workflows.
Solution Architect: Provided high-level guidance on the platform’s design and technical architecture. Contributed strategic ideas to enhance both usability and functionality while ensuring seamless integration with backend systems. Oversaw the frontend team’s progress, aligning development efforts with project goals, and ensured the successful delivery of the MVP within the tight deadline.

The backend was developed by the client, allowing our team to focus exclusively on the frontend.

Our solution

To meet the client’s objectives and deliver the MVP on time, we adopted a structured approach:

Frontend Development:
- Built the user interface using Next.js, React, and TypeScript, ensuring high performance and responsiveness across devices.
- Implemented modern design specifications provided in Figma, focusing on usability and branding alignment.
External System Integration:
- Integrated Cognito for secure user authentication, providing a seamless login experience.
- Connected Stripe for payment processing, enabling users to manage payments directly within the platform.
Job Dispatch Workflow:
- Developed an intuitive workflow for users to dispatch computation jobs across cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, SF Compute).
- Ensured smooth and intuitive navigation through user-focused interface design.
Collaboration with the Backend Team:
- Worked closely with the client’s backend team to integrate APIs and ensure smooth data flow between systems.
- Conducted joint testing to verify seamless functionality across all platform components.
