Context
The initial project requirement was to create an administrative system where it would be possible to manage all investors which are connected with Sage Equities company. The system was going to provide a way to manage investors, their registered investors, deals, investments made for deals, and the possibility to generate different types of reports during selected date periods.
Challenge
- The first challenge was how to design the database which would be scalable for future additions.
- The second problem was to understand all 4 types of reports and how efficiently can be organized, as well as generating excel and pdf containing multiple pages.
- The third problem was how to achieve having a shared module for reports generation which will be used in the Admin system and also in the Investor portal (separate project).
Solution
Here are the solutions that we used to solve the problems we had faced.
- We created a MongoDB database that would run under a dedicated cluster also designed the database diagram including all main collections.
- Prepared possible efficient Mongo aggregation queries for each report.
- Prepared architecture of codebase which would allow having separate reports module as a private node module for admin and portal repos.
Development Process
The development process was very organized by keeping the Scrum methodology: daily meetups with clients and dev team, prepare 2 weeks sprints, using the Jira task management system. The team was consists of senior back end and front end devs, QA engineer, and Project Manager.
Results
As a result, we have both admin and portal systems running under production environments already several months, and the development process is still ongoing.
