This review explains the technology stack used for the GIUPEDI Platform and outlines how each tool contributes to building a scalable, secure, and efficient platform.

 
1. Core Technology:

Coding Framework: Laravel
Benefits: Laravel is a robust PHP framework widely used for building scalable web applications. It offers features such as a powerful routing system, built-in ORM (Eloquent), MVC architecture, and seamless API integration. It also includes security features (like protection from cross-site scripting, SQL injection) and supports authentication/authorization out of the box.
Scalability: Laravel can scale easily with horizontal scaling, and when combined with a service like AWS, it handles high volumes of traffic. Its modularity allows developers to scale up features easily.
Database: MySQL
Benefits: MySQL is one of the most popular relational databases. It is reliable, widely supported, and handles structured data efficiently. The availability of robust querying features makes it perfect for transactional workloads.
Scalability: MySQL scales well, especially in cloud environments (like AWS RDS), and can handle large databases via techniques such as replication, sharding, and partitioning.
Server: AWS (Amazon Web Services)
Benefits: AWS provides scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure services. AWS offers auto-scaling, Elastic Load Balancing, and multiple regions for redundancy, making it highly adaptable to different needs.
Scalability: AWS offers virtually infinite scaling, making it ideal for applications expecting growth in users or data. It allows on-demand resource allocation, serverless functions (via AWS Lambda), and managed services that can scale based on traffic.
 
2. Third-Party Integrations:

SMS Integration: Twilio
Benefits: Twilio is a communication platform offering APIs for sending and receiving SMS, making it easy for developers to integrate messaging into applications. It also handles international messaging and real-time reporting.
Scalability: Twilio automatically scales to support millions of messages per day, making it highly suitable for high-traffic applications.

Wama and her team have helped me with many tasks over the years, including updates and upgrades to my website to make sure it is functioning correctly and it is ranking in google.

Wama was recommended to me through a friend here is Australia, and they continue to do an amazing job so I continue to use them for any website issues I have.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

Again, I am not very good with this technical language. But recently they have changed my website from http to https, making it secure and more favoured by google. Also adding a new widget to my website.

I only directly spoke with Wama on this occasion, and she would have appointed certain staff to do the tasks.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

They quickly delivered the tasks, and I am very happy with the result.

After I emailed Wama Software the tasks, Wama followed up on Skype to clarify my tasks (as I said I am not very technical). This gave me confidence that they understood what needed to be delivered. They completed the task in a few short days.

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

Their ability to understand the task when it came from my self, who is someone who has no technical or web developing experience. Great communication and understanding.
