Client’s Challenge
This company needed a service with GPS and navigation functionality for its cloud-based app delivery platform. Therefore, they addressed Four Ages with the request to develop several navigation apps from scratch and implement them within their system for connected vehicles.
Solution
After carefully examining the initial requirements for the navigation application, our experienced software engineers decided upon the tech stack to be used in the project. They were primarily focused on the backend side of the navigation application and its implementation in the cloud environment.
Backend Infrastructure
Our team used Node.js and Python to design the backend infrastructure for the new application from scratch. This served as a foundation for the entire development and implementation process. The results of the backend development process were regularly presented to our client for discussion and feedback.
Cloud architecture
Four Ages is a leader in cutting-edge cloud solutions in different verticals. On this particular project, our DevOps experts enabled the development of modular, independently deployable services that enhanced the scalability and agility of the applications. They also used Linux assembly code that offers a high degree of customization in implementing the architecture-specific logic for memory optimization and task execution.
CI/CD setup
Since Four Ages built a dedicated team to work on the navigation app projects, our professionals were involved in all stages of the software development lifecycle. They gradually deployed the project step-by-step, presented the results to the client, made the necessary changes, executed tests, and deployed the product. Since the regular addition of new features was needed, our team followed the CI/CD concept to work on the project.
Testing
Our company also executed QA testing procedures during all stages of application development to ensure its exceptional quality. We have also carried out a series of tests on the app implementation to make sure everything worked as expected.
Impact
A high-quality, error-resistant navigation app to be used worldwide. The app designed by Four Ages also shows actual road signs, closed roads, climatic conditions, and other details that make a user's journey more comfortable.
