Mango
Mango is a global clothing design and manufacturing company with over 15,000 employees and 1,700 stores across 102 countries.
Project Overview
Mango uses Jira software internally to manage certain projects. They needed to integrate Jira data with internal tools to streamline the maintenance of their physical stores.
For this, they asked us to develop a set of backend APIs to access, process, and retrieve data from Jira so that other internal tools could consume this information.
Hiring a developer experienced in Jira API would have been costly and time-consuming, so they came to us for specialized expertise.
Requirements
- Develop multiple backend APIs to access, process, and retrieve Jira data
- Implement automated testing routines
- Use only AWS Serverless technologies (API Gateway, Lambda, etc.) to align with their existing cloud infrastructure
Solution implemented by Codewow
Specialized expertise in Jira API was required and promptly provided for this project.
The Team
Codewow quickly assembled a Backend Development Team with Jira API experience, who began working with the client in less than a week. Locally hiring such expertise would have taken months. Our DevOps team built and deployed the required AWS Serverless infrastructure, adhering to high-security standards.
Development
The backend development progressed quickly, delivering the requested APIs to the client, who began integrating them into internal systems ahead of schedule.
Technologies used
NodeJS
Jira API
AWS CloudFormation
AWS API Gateway
AWS Lambda
Quality Assurance
Testing strategies for backend APIs differ greatly from those for frontend interfaces.
Our QA team designed, developed, and automated numerous testing routines to validate the backend APIs with various parameters, ensuring a robust implementation and complete security.
Conclusion
The project kicked off within days and was completed ahead of schedule, saving the client significant recruitment time, and effort to find local expertise.
- Flexibility: The client outsourced specialized expertise for a few months rather than committing to a long-term hire.
- Fast onboard: Seamless recruitment and onboarding in just a few days.
- Quality Assurance: Automated backend testing routines were successfully integrated.
