Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Uvik Software provided two senior data engineers who joined our internal data team and worked directly in our Jira, GitHub, Slack, and code review process. The project started with an audit of our existing data pipelines and warehouse structure. We had a number of legacy Python and SQL jobs that were difficult to maintain, poorly monitored, and too dependent on manual checks from our finance and operations teams. Uvik Software’s engineers helped us redesign and rebuild several critical parts of the platform. They refactored Python-based ETL jobs, improved Airflow DAG structure, introduced stronger data validation logic, and helped move more business logic into dbt models so that transformations became easier to test, review, and maintain. Key deliverables included: Refactoring 70+ legacy ETL jobs Building new Airflow DAGs for payment, transaction, merchant, and reconciliation data Creating dbt models for core finance and operations reporting Optimizing Redshift tables, queries, and materialized views Implementing automated data quality checks Building monitoring and alerting for failed or delayed pipelines Reducing manual reconciliation work through automated matching logic Improving data availability for BI dashboards used by finance, operations, and account management teams They also documented the new pipeline structure and helped our internal team adopt clearer standards for naming, testing, deployment, and ownership of data models.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The project produced measurable improvements across reliability, speed, and operational efficiency. Over the course of the engagement: Data pipeline success rate improved from 94.1% to 99.3%. Monthly pipeline failures decreased from around 18 per month to 3 or fewer. Daily finance reporting time was reduced from approximately 11 hours to 75 minutes. Manual reconciliation work decreased from 35–40 hours per week to fewer than 8 hours. Core dashboard load times improved from 40–50 seconds to under 10 seconds. New data source onboarding time decreased from 2–3 weeks to around 4–5 days. More than 70 legacy ETL jobs were refactored or replaced. The team gained automated visibility into pipeline delays, failed jobs, and data quality issues. The biggest business impact was that our finance and operations teams no longer had to wait almost a full day for reliable reporting. They could access fresher and more accurate data with far less manual work.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Uvik Software’s engineers worked as part of our internal data team, so project management was very smooth. They joined our sprint planning, daily communication, backlog grooming, and code review process. Most deliverables were completed on time, and when a task required more investigation, they communicated the reason clearly and early. We especially appreciated that they did not just complete assigned tickets mechanically. If they saw a better technical approach or noticed a risk in an existing pipeline, they raised it proactively. Their response time was strong, and they were reliable during production issues. When we had pipeline failures or data delays, they helped troubleshoot quickly and usually came back with both a short-term fix and a longer-term prevention plan.

What was your primary form of communication with Uvik Software?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The most impressive part was how quickly their engineers became productive in a complex data environment. They were not limited to one narrow area. They could work across Python pipelines, Airflow orchestration, SQL optimization, dbt models, AWS infrastructure, and data quality checks. That combination was very valuable for us because our problems were not isolated to one tool. They also brought senior-level ownership. Instead of only asking for exact requirements, they helped define better pipeline standards, improve monitoring, and reduce hidden operational risks in our data platform.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Uvik Software could have done differently?

Their technical work is strong from the beginning, but we initially had slightly different expectations around how detailed pipeline documentation should be. After we aligned on the format, everything became consistent and easy for our internal team to maintain.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Uvik Software was brought in to rebuild and optimize the backend for our high-throughput API product. The engagement focused on improving scalability, response times, uptime, deployment speed, and long-term maintainability.

Their team reviewed the limitations of our existing implementation and redesigned the service around better async patterns and more scalable backend practices. They optimized database access, introduced Redis caching, improved connection management, and strengthened the deployment setup in AWS ECS. They also added a more robust observability layer so the platform team could monitor performance and diagnose issues more effectively in production.

Key deliverables included:

• redesigned FastAPI backend architecture;
• performance optimization across the API and database layers;
• Redis caching and connection pooling implementation;
• improved AWS ECS deployment setup;
• observability with Prometheus, Grafana, and structured logging;
• better automated test coverage and code quality practices;
• support for production rollout and scaling.

Overall, the scope covered both technical modernization and practical performance engineering to make the API ready for the next stage of customer growth.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The project delivered clear performance and operational improvements. API throughput increased from about 3,000 requests per second to 15,000 requests per second, while p95 latency dropped from 380 ms to 42 ms. Since launch, uptime has remained at 99.97%.

In addition, our deployment process became much faster, moving from biweekly releases to multiple deployments per day. Test coverage on the rebuilt backend reached 91%, and infrastructure cost per request declined by around 35%. These improvements gave us a more scalable and reliable platform for continued growth.

Important: replace these metrics with the client’s real numbers if needed.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their project management was strong throughout the engagement. They were organized, responsive, and easy to work with, and they integrated well with our internal platform team. Deliverables were generally completed on time, and communication was consistent and clear.

They were proactive in surfacing risks, discussing tradeoffs, and adjusting priorities when needed. What I appreciated most was that they did not just execute tickets mechanically — they understood the business importance of performance and reliability and responded accordingly. Overall, they were dependable and collaborative partners.

What was your primary form of communication with Uvik Software?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The most impressive thing was their level of performance engineering discipline. They did not stop at making the API functional — they looked at the system end to end and optimized it at every meaningful layer, from async patterns and database access to caching, observability, and deployment.

That combination of FastAPI-specific expertise and practical production thinking is rare. Many teams can build backend features, but fewer can materially improve throughput, latency, uptime, and cost efficiency at the same time. Uvik Software stood out because they could do both.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Uvik Software could have done differently?

I would say that their initial API documentation style was a bit different from our internal format. That said, they adapted quickly once we aligned on expectations, and it did not have any meaningful impact on delivery or outcomes.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Uvik Software to accomplish?

• We hired Uvik Software to help us modernize a legacy Python/Django platform that had become a growing technical and operational risk for the business. Our core objective was to move from Python 2.7 / Django 1.11 to a current, supported stack without disrupting a live production system. Just upgrading versions was not enough for us. We also wanted to improve test coverage, reduce release risk, resolve long-standing dependency and security issues, and leave the platform in a state where our internal team could move faster going forward.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The project focused on modernizing a live production platform that had been running on Python 2.7 and Django 1.11 for several years. Because the platform was business-critical, a full rewrite was not a realistic option, so the work was done incrementally.

Uvik Software first helped stabilize the legacy codebase by increasing automated test coverage around the most sensitive areas. From there, they migrated the system module by module. Their typical flow was to add or strengthen tests, refactor older code for compatibility, upgrade the module to the newer Python/Django stack, and then validate it in staging before release.

They also used the migration window to clean up outdated dependencies, remediate security issues, and improve the general maintainability of the codebase.

Key deliverables included:

migration from Python 2.7 / Django 1.11 to Python 3.11 / Django 4.2
expanded automated test coverage across core modules
incremental rollout of migrated components without downtime
dependency and security remediation
improved release readiness and documentation for the internal team

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The biggest result was that the platform was successfully migrated from Python 2.7 / Django 1.11 to Python 3.11 / Django 4.2 without downtime or migration-related production incidents.

Beyond that, we saw meaningful quality and delivery improvements:

test coverage increased from 23% to 84%
release cadence improved from monthly to weekly
internal deployment confidence improved from 3.1/10 to 8.4/10
new engineer onboarding time dropped from about 6 weeks to 2 weeks
3 critical security vulnerabilities were resolved during the modernization effort

For us, the value was not just that the migration was completed, but that the platform became much safer and easier to work with afterward.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their project management was structured, clear, and low-drama. They tracked progress at the module level, surfaced risks early, and kept communication focused on what actually mattered: what had been completed, what was blocked, what could affect release safety, and what decisions needed input from our side.

Yes, they delivered on time for the milestones we agreed on, and when priorities shifted, they adapted quickly. I also appreciated that they did not hide complexity. If something was likely to create migration risk, they raised it early and came with options instead of surprises.

They worked well with our internal team and were responsive throughout the project.

What was your primary form of communication with Uvik Software?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed me most was their discipline around modernization in a live environment. A lot of teams can talk about upgrading a stack, but fewer can do it carefully without treating production stability as an afterthought.

Uvik Software was strong technically, but what made them especially valuable was judgment. They did not push a flashy rewrite. They took a more mature approach: reduce risk, improve testability, modernize incrementally, and make sure our team understood the system as it evolved.

That combination of senior engineering depth and practical execution was the biggest differentiator for us.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Uvik Software could have done differently?

Overall, the engagement went very well. If I had to point to one area for improvement, I would say that some of the early migration decisions could have been documented more thoroughly at the start of the project.

That said, once we raised it, they responded well and improved the documentation standard in the following phases. So it was a relatively minor issue, and they handled the feedback professionally.

Their scope included reviewing and refactoring unstable pipelines, improving orchestration in Airflow, optimizing Snowflake workloads, and helping structure the transformation layer in dbt so it was easier to test and maintain. They also built out monitoring and alerting around pipeline health, which had been a major gap for us.

Key deliverables included:

Refactoring several unreliable production pipelines
Improving orchestration and job stability in Airflow
Optimizing Snowflake performance and reducing unnecessary compute usage
Supporting the rollout of dbt for cleaner, more maintainable transformations
Building pipeline monitoring, alerting, and visibility dashboards
Helping onboard new upstream data sources into the platform

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The results were very clear over the course of the engagement. Pipeline reliability improved from about 91% to 99.6%, and the latency on some of our core dashboards dropped from roughly 8 hours to 45 minutes. Silent failures, which had been an ongoing issue, were reduced from around 12 per month to fewer than 1. We also onboarded two additional upstream sources, adding about 2.4 TB of daily throughput, and reduced Snowflake compute costs by approximately 22%.

Beyond the numbers, the team gave us something we didn’t really have before: visibility into pipeline health and much more confidence in the data we were delivering to customers.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Project management was smooth and low-overhead, which was important for us. Their engineers worked inside our existing processes rather than creating a parallel vendor structure. They joined our Jira board, Slack channels, and code review flow, so communication felt direct and easy.

In terms of delivery, they were reliable and responsive. Most work was delivered on time, and when priorities shifted, they adapted quickly without a lot of friction. They were also proactive about raising risks or suggesting better ways to approach a problem instead of just waiting for instructions.

What was your primary form of communication with Uvik Software?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The most impressive thing was how quickly they became productive in a fairly complex data environment. They didn’t need much hand-holding, and they understood the difference between just writing pipelines and actually improving the reliability of a data platform.

I’d also say their strongest contribution was around observability. We originally engaged them to help with throughput and freshness, but the monitoring and alerting layer they built ended up being one of the most valuable long-term improvements. It changed how our team operates day to day.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Uvik Software could have done differently?

Overall, the engagement went well. One area we could have aligned on earlier was naming conventions and modeling standards in dbt, just to avoid a bit of back-and-forth at the beginning. It wasn’t a major issue, and once we agreed on conventions, things moved smoothly.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most was Uvik Software’s ability to seamlessly integrate into our internal team and operate as true partners rather than external vendors. They quickly understood our technical environment, business goals, and development standards, which allowed them to deliver value from an early stage.

Their strong sense of ownership, proactive mindset, and commitment to quality set them apart. The team consistently went beyond basic task execution by suggesting improvements, identifying potential risks, and focusing on long-term product stability. This combination of professionalism, reliability, and collaborative attitude made the partnership especially valuable.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Uvik Software could have done differently?

Overall, our experience was very positive, and we did not encounter any major issues during the cooperation. If anything, occasional alignment on long-term roadmap priorities could have been strengthened even further at earlier stages. However, the team was always open to feedback and quickly adapted when such discussions were needed.

We consider these minor points rather as opportunities for further optimization, and they did not impact the overall success of the project.
