INVOLVEMENT

Binary Studio has played a key role in FanAngel's transformation from its initial version into a stable and secure high-performance platform that is able to serve more than 3000 users per second

As an integral part of the engineering team, our engineers played an important part in refactoring and testing the system to reflect SOLID principles. They also helped to rebuild the RESTful API and extended it with new capabilities. On top of that, Binary Studio was also involved in re-designing the project architecture and was responsible for setting up a highly scalable, module based database environment, taking care of all related aspects such as:

Installation and Maintenance.
Performance Tuning and Query Optimization.
Managing Security and Data Integrity.
Development of an archiving/backup solution that reduces disk storage by 80%.
Conception of a module based database design for easy scalability and maintenance.

The three key things that stood out to Binary Studio is that they really wanted long term partnership, and I did too. They had quality engineers, from the start. And they had a satellite office in US, in Silicon Valley.

"When it came time to develop platform I needed high quality engineers quickly. We had the design, we had the basic concept ready, we had a proof of concept, and now we had to get it to the market. On the Central Coast where Fan Angel is headquartered, top quality talent is pretty hard to find. So having partnership with Binary has really been beneficial. The team at Binary is my back-end team. They do the Database management, they do the PHP. They do all the development outside of my UI. Even in the Valley you hear about Ukraine having very good engineers, and it's true.
