DESCRIPTION
BUSINESS CHALLENGES
usiness oriented, innovation department of DST was put under extreme pressure to
deliver platform for individual investors to trade ETFs.

Originally, most of the business and non-functional requirements remained

undiscovered. It was a joint journey to learn business domain and figure out the
way to put financial data into the clouds.

BUSINESS SOLUTION
We started with 4-5 people team to transition PoC developed in US to Poland. In the
early days our goal was to delivery MVP quickly to gain initial traction.

As a group, we had to discover not only requirements that flew from various
directions but also safe way for financial corporate business to operate in the new
environment driven by rapid development, short feedback cycles and Agile way of
thinking.

Since day one, Pragmatic Coders did everything to support DST on business,
technical and process side. As a joined effort we figured out how to connect various
business departments, operations and sales people in the quest of building reliable
solution for customers.

Over time, cooperation grew into real partnership where both parties jointly form
backlog based on experience, business needs and mutual trust.

CASE STUDY
PROJECT CHALLENGES
& SOLUTIONS
MICROSERVICES IMPLEMENTATION
Our goal was to implement microservices in a way that guarantees data consistency
in complex financial domain. We wanted all of them to work independently with good
amount of data redundancy so that failure in one place was not visible to the end
user.
We knew that it’s absolutely crucial to establish guidelines for cross cutting concerns
aspects such as - monitoring, configuration, contract validation etc. We run multiple
sessions across developers to make sure everyone is at the same page.
Technologically, we chose Spring Boot + Spring Cloud powered by HashiCorp and
AWS tools.

CONTINOUS DELIVERY
Apart from business change that needed to happen, we knew that continuous
delivery to be effective in microservices world has to be scalable and reliable.
We knew that our Jenkins instance will be modified by different teams. That’s why we
selected Groovy DSL powered by our own Groovy component library to deliver code
as a solution to that problem. Thanks to that we are able to setup Jenkins instances
together with all jobs and pipelines under 5 minutes.

INFRASTRUCTURE
We wanted to have infrastructure that will be used over decades as a mean to
transition legacy, corporate business into the cloud. We leveraged scalability of
Kubernetes and created a separate small team of DevOps and Developers. Their sole
goal was to deliver infrastructure as a code.

We knew that we will host multiple different

projects so ease of change, transparency and
auditability are key drivers. We used AWS,
Terraform, Chief nd multiple open source tools
to deliver on that promise.

& SOLUTIONS

SOLVED PROBLEMS
We started cooperation with Webinterpret from determining the most pressing
problems and handled them first:

Integration of incident tracking tool and production problem solving. After we

introduced Sentry (incident tracking tool) we were able to decrease the number
of incidents from 1.5M to around 500 incidents per day.

Redesigned and rewrote basic system processes with the efficiency of

processing in mind. All of that without loosing the data consistency. 
Thanks to that the average time needed to fetch and process users’ inventory
decreased from few weeks to few hours.

Solve the scalability issue caused by excessive usage of database queries and
wrong usage of indexes. Thanks to the database optimization we have not only
allowed the future product scaling but also managed to decrease the cost of the
infrastructure by 60% while the number of the system users increased by 800%.

Migrate the system from deprecated technologies (Python 2.6, MySQL 5.5) to the
current stable solutions. It saved the system from technical death and reduced
the costs of maintenance by the operation team.

NEW PRODUCTS
During our cooperation we also developed completly new products:

A tool for buyer-seller international communication.

Proof of concept of a new e-commerce tool for a new marketplace.
Solution connecting various e-commerce platforms and tools that allow small
sellers to sell globally.

PROJECT CHALLENGES
& SOLUTIONS
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
We started cooperation with AccentPharm on the very beginning of their road to
become a successful startup. To fully comprehend what they need to provide
professional medical translations without any accidental errors we had to
understand the complicity of translation quality assurance process. Thanks to the
fact that we cooperated with them from the very beginning we avoided the "code
after design" approach. Instead, we developed the solution in accordance with the
design and prototyping process.

BUSINESS SOLUTION
We created LinQ (Linguistic Quality) application, that changes the quality assurance
process. Thanks to that solution quality of the translations drastically increased
when overall time and cost of translation decreased.

During project duration We’ve been releasing new versions of the app few times a
day. It allowed us to test the product with live users and adjust the requirements
according to their feedback.

The app we created is now used by many translators all around the world.

For me the highlight of our cooperation was fast reaction, flexibility and
the approach of Pragmatic Coders. Pragmatic’s invested, engaged
approach facilitated a seamless and collaborative partnership. I valued the
communication process. They functioned much like internal team members
who had known our business for years; their engagement eliminated
miscommunications.

DESCRIPTION
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
First a prototype/MVP version was needed to ensure key oil trading market makers
and investors are interested in the idea. After Bloc-X received an investment, a
quick scale-up to a full, production-ready solution was required to keep the
momentum, while making sure all the security and trading-related compliance
requirements are met.

BUSINESS SOLUTION
The first version was implemented with a great care to UI/UX and ability for traders
to put offers and make trades. MVP provided users with a taste of the system in
overall, but limited set of features.
Currently, as a part of scale-up process we are extending Bloc-X platform with
additional trading features including several add-ons that are products’ unique
selling points. Also, a separate team is dedicated to develop a trade execution and
compliance systems.

CASE STUDY
TECH CHALLENGES
& SOLUTIONS
REAL-TIME UPDATES
Real-time updates - trades that were made in the application needed to be visible
immediately. We used Pusher realtime notifications to handle large number of
instant updates on the frontend side.

DATA
Large amount of data to display and update real-time for each user. We adjusted
Frontend technology stack to the needs of highly responsive application with a lot
of data/state to manage - we chose to use React.js with Redux library.

TRADE CONSISTENCY
Backend implementation needed to ensure trade consistency while allowing for
quick trade execution and high performance. We used Custom Order Book
implementation. It provides advanced event processing, asynchronous
communication and message queues on the backend side.

COMPLIANCE REGULATIONS
Meeting compliance regulations while delivering a product in the cloud. We chpse
secure, scalable and robust AWS infrastructure to meet all the performance and
compliance requirements.

It’s very notable that they were able to kind of challenge our views on how
we should build trading software. We’ve been surprised by this, because,
although they had some experience with trading systems, they didn’t have
experience in the specific field that we were operating in. Also, the
relationship that exists between their product owner and their development
team is extremely good.

combine various functions essential for tourist provider, like scheduling trips for the
next few months, sales and booking management, billing, invoicing and ticketing
processes, trips organization, transport management, local guides, and translators
assignments.

BUSINESS SOLUTION
The first stage was to maintain the legacy of an almost non-extendable and non-
scalable system. After a few weeks of investigation, together with our client, we
decided to rewrite the entire solution. We managed to create a totally new product
on top of the old system by smoothly shifting one responsibility at a time from
the old system to the new one.

Meanwhile, we have created a new tour e-commerce solution that is fully

automated and integrated with the rest of the system.

We managed to create a fully scalable and extendable complete solution for

We started with a workshop to define high level goals, must to have features and
nonfunctional requirements. Later on we turned it into the roadmap of short,
achievable milestones followed by quick execution.

BUSINESS CHALLENGES

Due to the fact that our client was traveling a lot we had a Proxy Product Owner who
worked with the team to make sure that we don't lose a single day chasing pointless

PROJECT CHALLENGES
& SOLUTIONS
3rd PART PROVIDERS INTEGRATION

One of the problems we faced in this project was associated with complexity of
cryptocurrency trading domain and integrations between various 3rd party providers.

We solved integration problem by providing anti-corruption layer over integration

points.  Thanks to the implementation of business logic according to Domain-Driven
Design best practises we managed to build safe and extensible microservices that
are easy to change.

INFRASTRUCTURE SETUP

Another challenge we faced was connected with efficient setup of microservices. As

we worked with the startup it was crucial that infrastructure costs do not exceed
estimated maintenance budget.

To resolve this issue we decided to combined as many of SaaS providers and AWS
pay-per-usage tools as possible. Our goal hnot to generate costs for platform that’s
getting traction. For instance, instead of hosting our own Jenkins master and slaves,
we moved continuous integration to AWS Code Build, Code Pipeline, Code Deploy
and other similar tools which gave us tremendous cost savings.

The cooperation with Pragmatic Coders has been an excellent experience, the
commitment and spirit of the team for delivering results is really inspiring.
They take care of all your needs from the more simple ones to the most

TECH CHALLENGE
Creating a blockchain that is secure, fast, reliable and suitable for building a
decentralized cryptocurrency exchange is a challenge itself. But doing it under time
pressure, with a roadmap that from the day one is behind the schedule, requires extra
management skills, expertise and extraordinary team effort.

TECH SOLUTION
We quickly built partner relation between client and Pragmatic Coders. Thanks to that
we were able to take full product ownership and the responsibility for the product
development success. That way we were able to move fast, solve most of the
problems locally and in the result deliver reliable solution on time. During our
cooperation we delivered dozens of features and solved number of problems, to
name just a few:
Implementation of Proof of Work - Equihash (ASIC-resistant) algorithm that works
with Proof of Stake consensus, to make blockchain completely secure from the day
one, even in the absence of computing power used for mining
Creation of new full node wallet that is web and desktop ready
Setup of the entire blockchain related infrastructure (blockchain explorer, staking
pool, mining pool, miners etc.)

We used to work in a very fast and dynamic way, made decisions quickly, based
on data and research. We found out quickly that often software development
teams aren’t so dynamic in the delivery of the agreed scope. We contacted and
tested the cooperation with a couple of them. Finally, we found the perfect
