Business Challenge

The customer has his own business management platform that is already widely used by his clients. Customer has analyzed the market and decided that the platform needs an additional service that will be responsible for the tracking & monitoring of the employee’s working time. On the one hand, the development of a new service had to satisfy current partners and give them more control over their resources. On the other hand, this decision was supposed to help attract new clients.

Our Solution

Chudovo team took over the development of the backend app that collected data from third-party APIs. All the data was of the same type and was intended for the tracking of the employee’s working time f.e. when the person started the work, when she left, how many breaks she had etc. After data collecting the application processed it, selected the necessary information and saved it to the database for further processing by the customer’s application. The application was based on microservices architecture, services communicated with each other through Azure Service Bus, data was stored in Mongo and MS SQL

The microservice development was based on the DDD approach and the Clean Architecture approach. The Foundation package was used to work with the Service bus. To implement communication between projects, the Mediator pattern of behavior was used, for working with databases – the Generic Repository. The entire infrastructure was deployed on Azure, in particular, the Azure board, Pipelines, Repos, Azure SQL server, application insights were used.
