BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am Anastasiia Romanovska, Operations Director of Velas.com, the world’s fastest EVM blockchain and open-source platform for decentralized projects and applications, processing up to 75,000 transactions per second with instant finality, extremely low fees, and Solidity support.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Dysnix, and what were your goals?
Dysnix participated alongside tens of other companies in the Velas grant program. Answering our challenge, their team suggested a comprehensive solution—an implementation of quick access to Velas blockchain historical data and an optimization mechanism for response time that would reduce costs and eliminate periodical downtimes due to traffic spikes.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
I have known the Dysnix team for a long time, and I was always impressed by their way of thinking and high level of expertise. We have already collaborated on several projects, and I am familiar with their high level of responsibility and deep experience in blockchain infrastructure, blockchain development, and development of custom solutions. We provide grants for creating new tools and projects to increase the utility of Velas for our users.
So, Dysnix participated in the grant program, and unquestionably, their proposal was the best of all. In the nutshell, it allows Velas ecosystem users to access historical data using JSON-RPC protocol as if they access blockchain nodes. It was the case of a custom solution development for blockchain.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
The team designed Velas-proxy — a custom solution that accesses to Bigtable, and combined it with JSON RPC Caching Proxy. This Dysnix product invalidates cache with deprecated data through a smart algorithm and allows access to backend nodes only when necessary. The solution retains all the standards of JSON-RPC server for EVM blockchains, and the main idea is tracking and detecting historical data in the block information.
In the case of detecting historical data, the Velas-proxy part creates a request to Bigtable, gets the requested data, and generates a response for the client side in the JSON-RPC format. Dysnix engineers integrated such a proxy-pipeline into several Velas production systems.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
We got a custom solution that simplified access to the Velas blockchain historical data and reduced time-to-market for blockchain projects. Moreover, we received an additional open-source product on GitHub, which enhances our capabilities in similar solution development. So, we can use this product as a ready-made component for other systems. So, basically, Dysnix designed an additional proxy-layer that provides a convenient, simple interface where our users deal with historical data as if they have access to the regular blockchain.
All DApps applications have started working faster without timeouts, which is a significant improvement for all DApss customers. Generally speaking, the custom proxy solution has reduced the need of Velas in the compute resources and speeded up the whole Velas ecosystem's further development.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
The workflow with this team is always effective and productive. Dysnix has led an entire development cycle—from R&D to a production-ready solution. In other words, the progressive Dysnix team combined all the advantages of the Product development team and the Custom Solution development team, so there was minimal involvement in the process from our side. The workflow related to the JSON RPC Caching Proxy product by Dysnix was quite clear and transparent.
Dysnix deployed their product to our environment and tested it on the testnet, and then we deployed it to the mainnet. The team configured a specific pipeline where the clients initially refer to JSON RPC Caching Proxy, then to Velas-proxy, and then to Velas blockchain nodes. The collected metrics demonstrated that such a comprehensive solution significantly improved the UX characteristics by reducing the JSON-RPC endpoint response time, as well as costs.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
It’s their deep understanding of the niche and the project’s context. Such great expertise allowed them to tightly integrate their beneficial custom solution with Velas ecosystem. One of the most impressive things is Dysnix's extensive experience at the junction of two domain industries—Blockchain and Infrastructure—so their expert knowledge enabled the creation of such an ingenious solution. That’s valuable.
One of the biggest strengths is their ability to be flexible and come up with solutions to each problem we face. They always generate brilliant ideas and are eager to create practical and valuable products. And their proactiveness and general communication skills are also great.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
No, there are not any. So far, so good. Dysnix always does a great job of identifying our needs and finding the right solution.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
The Dysnix team in particular was in charge of delivering the infra part in the process of providing a comprehensive solution for the Top-5 DEX in collaboration with us. Three geo-distributed GKE clusters were deployed by the Dysnix team with identical configurations, each cluster having a few roles for the blockchain nodes.
Some nodes communicate with the blockchain, some offer RPC, and yet more supporting nodes that offer the recent snapshots needed for quick node scaling. Therefore if needed, we can scale up by 100 times in 30 minutes. For traffic filtration and DDoS defense, the team integrated Cloudflare.
In addition, the solution incorporated Google Global Load Balancer to route all traffic to a single endpoint and thereby significantly reducing customer network latency. The project is based on managed Kubernetes and GKE. Additionally, to ensure controlled, safe and secure adjustments, Terraform + Terragrunt are used for infrastructure maintenance.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Time to spin up a node when traffic surges
Also, Dysnix helped to optimize infrastructure costs with their customized solutions:
PredictKube - which provides predictive AI-based auto-scaling to minimize the latency during traffic spikes (e.g. during IFO ) and reduces the costs by 30%.
JSON RPC Caching Proxy, which reduces load to blockchain RPC endpoints and cut off costs by 40%

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am Roman Strelchik, CTO at GotBit.io, a large trading desk that analyzes, builds, and implements high-demand solutions to increase clients’ profits using the market reassessment conducted by trading tools.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Dysnix?
The challenge was developing a supported and scalable infrastructure to run our services. We had already had some projects, environments, and the Kubernetes cluster before we addressed Dysnix. Our team had done some groundwork, and this time we decided to request a reliable, viable solution from the specialists and implement improvements much faster than doing everything by ourselves.
Another upgrade we wanted to develop was a CI/CD pipeline, which implies deploying ten basic services and more than 250 clients’ bots. The main challenge here was to develop a custom solution for those clients' bots that would automatically allow us to deploy them in the Kubernetes cluster on demand without software engineers' involvement.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
The Dysnix team was recommended for cooperation by my colleagues in the industry.
Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.
It is an architecture and infrastructure created from scratch on Kubernetes with GitLab CI/CD and development and production environments. As we had some experience with AWS, we decided to use it in our project.
Additionally, Dysnix engineers integrated a custom proxy solution and developed a custom CI/CD for clients’ bots. We had custom requirements for autoscaling and monitoring, as we used open-source utilities for business metrics collecting. Based on those details, the Dysnix team deployed and configured Prometheus and Elastic Search with separate pipelines, which would send data to Grafana and Kibana, in addition to internal utilities for monitoring and logging.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
Cloud Architect and Senior DevOps Engineer
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
The whole project was implemented with IaC and the “Deployment as a code” approach, which made the entire development process easy, fast, and stable at the same time. We got two reliable environments, both with auto-scaling and configured CI/CD, along with separate custom CI/CD for the automatic deployment of more than 250 clients’ bots. We requested a custom proxy solution for developing and implementing a few proxy pools for data parsing with fixed IP addresses. So, the Dysnix team developed a multi-level proxy system and implemented it in AWS and Kubernetes.
Additionally, they succeeded in performance-cost optimizations, as default EKS settings didn't allow us to reach the required performance level. Now, Dysnix engineers are working on the third environment, performance and CI/CD speed optimizations, and operational routine.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
We held an initial call with the team to discuss our needs and expectations for results. Then Cloud Architect created a draft of the architecture and prepared SoW. The Dysnix team started with infrastructure implementation and moved following the SoW. We had weekly syncs where invited engineers shared their updates and the next steps planned for the implementation process.
Within the whole active development phase, the Dysnix team conducted demos so that we could be able to see the progress. All new tasks and questions were added to the tracking list and prioritized as the project progressed. In addition, for urgent communication and operational questions, we had a working chat where Dysnix engineers kindly and attentively answered our quick requests.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They honestly acknowledge an issue and continually work to find a solution. They never remain silent on any problem but always try to find the roots of it and the real reason why it has happened—they eliminate the complications with all passion and commitment.
The most impressive points about Dysnix company are fast response time, honesty, frankness, and dedication, as well as their respectful and attentive attitude to the client’s team—they always explain how they have come to such a solution and how they implement it. We also appreciate consultations regarding the architecture for our applications held by Dysnix engineers—it was valuable input to our project.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
No, nothing comes to mind. The Dysnix team proved their significant expertise in the field.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am Daniel Walker , CTO at Whispli , a whistleblowing platform for security conscious organisations.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Dysnix, and what were your goals?
We wanted somebody to help with a Kubernetes deployment. We were struggling with multi-cloud and multi-region deployments. And we knew we wanted to containerize the application and make something that was portable across cloud providers and would be easy to manage at scale. So we wanted to implement a pull model where we had Kubernetes clusters that were reasonably portable that would be pulling configuration from a central repository and would configure and heal themselves.
I had a few ideas but I had no direct experience with the technology that I wanted to try. So we engaged Dysnix to help us with our R&D project and put together a PoC, which was ultimately successful and led to our long lasting relationship.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
Yeah, so I reached out to a number of platforms, like Upwork and Fiverr. I wanted somebody who was potentially like a freelance DevOps guy who had really great Kubernetes knowledge and could help me progress my idea to the PoC. We actually engaged a few people over the same project to see what people would come back with. The best result was exactly from Dysnix team. And then we quickly got to work and it became a direct relationship from that.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
Dysnix has basically built for us the Git driven Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solution where we can deploy environments in multiple regions on multiple cloud providers. And it's a pretty unique requirement as we have a lot of jurisdictional concerns, so we don't want data crossing country borders. We have a lot of people that have really strong preferences on where they want their data hosted and on what cloud. That's only becoming a bigger requirement for us, with enterprise clients we get. So Dysnix helped us to manage that thing with multiple productions and requirements.
Dysnix has built an effective architecture, where the whole things are driven from Git repositories, so PRs can be raised on infrastructure repos, and then translated into a deployment process to our multiple production environments. We end up having that code to push that automatically into a multitude of our environments. So it's a way to centrally manage all of our infrastructure using Git flow effectively.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
1 Cloud Architect (at the beginning)
1 Senior DevOps Engineer
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
Yeah, in terms of business outcomes, we're now positioned as the only provider in our space that can support multiple cloud technologies. We are the only provider in our space that can support single tenancy deployments. So we can deploy the product into a dedicated environment for big customers. Managing that would be almost impossible the way it was. And now it's actually no extra cost to manage the environment for us day to day. It's a massive win for the company.
Now we have around 30 stable and failover production environments and quite flexible IaC that is easy to manage and maintain. Also we keep building new production environments as well as scaling and supporting our infrastructure. Actually, what we've ended up with now is relying on Dysnix entirely for our DevOps demands. We don't have another DevOps.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
I think it's fairly flawless. Yeah, I am really happy. I think there was also a benefit to have Dysnix at the PoC phase. I remember when the Dysnix engineer and I worked really closely together in that PoC phase, when we weren't necessarily trying to do anything, we were just seeing if that stuff works. We felt each other out on what was important. And we were discussing and negotiating a bunch of things. I actually think we have a really great collaboration with Dysnix.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The outcomes have just been, like, I say, stellar. There is no craziness in the system. It's super predictable. If I need to answer a question, I can do so very quickly. And I think it's that appreciation for making things.
I think it's just an alignment on what makes things easy. Making things easy means you're exposing the right things and you're making things predictable. And the approach is predictable. And I guess it's that thing that I find most impressive in Dysnix because the temptation of modern DevOps engineers is to revert to complicated scripting and a bunch of software that acts between you and what you're trying to do.
I believe that's what I find most impressive working with Dysnix is that they've managed to do what we wanted without much in the way of custom stuff. And that's what I value most from what Dysnix brought to our company. Because like I say, everything can be done with a 4000 lines bash script, but it's not always the most responsible way to solve a problem.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
I think it would be great if we all lived in the same time zone. I guess managing the time zone is challenging sometimes.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am Evgeny Medvedev, Chief Solutions Architect at Nansen.ai, a blockchain analytics platform that combines on-chain data with a massive and constantly growing database containing millions of wallet labels.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Dysnix?
We hired Dysnix to develop, implement, and support a reliable and secure infrastructure for our blockchain analytics platform. A high level of security was the essential point of our needs. We needed a fail-safe and highly secure deployment for Ronin blockchain validator nodes.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
Three years ago, I met the Dysnix team when we worked together on the blockchain project for the Google Cloud platform. When the Nansen.ai team realized it needed a highly professional DevOps service related to blockchain, we reached out to Dysnix. I was confident in the quality of services this team provided and knew that only they could cope with the task we had at that time.
Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.
Dysnix deployed two validator nodes (the second served as the backup node) in the Google Kubernetes Engine and used the best safe deployment practices. Our Ronin validator does not directly address the P2P blockchain network. As between the validator and internet space, there are sentry blockchain nodes that function as the reverse proxying for the P2P blockchain. And, of course, the Dysnix team developed backups and recovery schemes for such a system. The whole project was implemented in the context of IaC and the deployment process as a code.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
1 Cloud Architect, 1 Senior DevOps Engineer
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We have the functional, operational, fail-safe, and reliable Ronin blockchain validator node that handles some transactions. The validator node has a safe deployment and secure access with maximal isolation from the internet space as it could be. Dysnix deploys and supports multiple Ronin archive nodes to use it as an RPC service for our analytics.
We have got precisely what we were looking for, and even more so—the Dysnix team was so understanding towards our strict policy and extreme confidentiality in the questions of providing private accesses, deployment processes, and the communication itself. At the current time, the Dysnix team is still supporting the project.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
We reached out to the team with our request, and they created a high-level SoW. Then, Dysnix conducted the R&D phase and, after 2-3 clarification sessions, came up with the final decision according to the architecture and in-depth detailed SoW. On the SoW basis, they described low-level tasks in their tracking system and started implementing them.
Throughout the active development phase, the Senior DevOps Engineer held demos, and the Cloud Architect conducted small internal R&Ds for better understanding and involvement in the context of the project. The team implemented the staging environment with three working Ronin Sentry nodes and created the instructions for the Nansen team, where they described in detail how we could deploy our environment with two functional Ronin validator nodes.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
It is the detailed architecture and infrastructure design already at the initial stage and the most profound understanding of the domain context, I mean, the blockchain context. Also, we appreciate the openness and willingness to prompt communication and assistance in resolving any issues and questions related to the project. The Dysnix team is always ready to help and show understanding.
The team considers all our wishes and is eager to accomplish our additional requests, such as configuring access to the node with the parsing possibility, load balancer implementation, and creating the archive nodes. We are exceedingly pleased with the Dysnix team’s performance and expertise.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Well, I have got nothing to say about that at the moment.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am Eli , CTO/Co-Founder at Wand.AI , a platform that automates the process of building AI solutions and delivers on-going positive impact on different kinds of business . Our company connects business , data, and AI solutions.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Dysnix?
The challenge was to develop and implement a SaaS architecture from scratch. We needed a sustainable cloud infrastructure created with IaC patterns as well as support and maintenance of that infrastructure. This project was planned to be launched both in closed perimeters and on cloud-based SaaS, so its architecture had to be cloud/underlayer agnostic.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
In fact , I had the opportunity to directly compare Dysnix with some other reputable firms given exactly the same task. The results were overwhelmingly in favor of Dysnix. Hence , we continued our cooperation to the next project.
Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.
Dysnix team created R&D for choosing the optimal software solution (for message bus , workflow processing , ML models serving , Auth) and developed application and infrastructure architecture from scratch using a modern tech stack with such instruments as Kubernetes cluster with Terraform , Flux , Prometheus Stack , Istio with Ory integration , Elastic search cluster , Seldon Core , Prefect Orion and others.
One of the main aspects is that our cloud infrastructure was developed as cloud-agnostic and now it can be runned in on-premises environments. So we can run our system even on a bare-metal server that is very essential for our security requirement.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
1 Solution Architect, 2 Senior DevOps Engineers
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Sure! Dysnix team has already developed and implemented a reliable, flexible and fail-safe architecture according to our requirements and needs as well as set up and deployed 2 environments (testing and staging) which are completely covered with monitoring that provides a rapid respond to any incidents.
These envs were deployed using IaC patterns and the best practices in the context of security as a storage of client’s personal data is a very important question for us. At the moment we are getting ready for the production release and Dysnix team continuous supporting and maintaining the infrastructure they built as well as consulting our dev team.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Dysnix started with R&D phase to determine the most appropriate instruments for the future architecture according to our business needs.The team presented a great well-structured action plan that fully satisfied us and then the guys proceeded to the implementation process. I am quite happy with the project updates implementation speed and the team’s management style.
I really enjoy communicating with the Dysnix team as they are very friendly people and always prevent any kind of conflicts. One of the most important aspects is that Dysnix is extremely attentive to deadlines that I appreciate much.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Dysnix is a team of high-level specialists, they have great expertise and a modern tech stack that allows them to build fantastic solutions. Dysnix engineers perfectly understood our needs and fully met our expectations. I am really impressed with their work approach as well as their attention to the details. Their caring about the project is what I value most and I am happy to work with them.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Frankly , I can not point out any serious issues.

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am Dmytro Haidashenko, CTO at Rarify, the platform that provides a Data API to search, analyze, and integrate NFTs.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Dysnix?
There was a complex architecture that we wanted to implement. We needed a secure, auto-scalable, and robust infrastructure for our new software product with zero downtime deployment and the ability to deploy our apps in the Kubernetes cluster by ourselves. Dysnix grasped our requirements and context very well and came up with the best-fit solutions. This architecture was successfully developed and implemented.
The solution by Dysnix was built from scratch and exceeded all our expectations. We got a properly designed architecture created by engineers with the highest level of context understanding and technical skills. The team provided such a good level of proficiency and abilities, so we decided to continue our collaboration with Dysnix specialists in the form of product support.
SOLUTION
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
I worked with the team one year ago on another project, where Dysnix was maintaining and monitoring the infrastructure, as well as increasing the security level of the system. I was totally satisfied with the service provided by the team. So, when we came to the need for a stable infrastructure with a specific level of security and a CI/CD system for our new project, I was sure that Dysnix would deal with the challenge with ease. Choosing these guys, I always know that they will definitely provide our project with a high quality of service, proactiveness in decision-making, and a responsible approach to work.
Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.
Dysnix was assigned to develop a Kubernetes-based infrastructure from scratch based on the AWS provider with some SaaS services (RDS, OpenSearch, MemoryStore, and EKS) included in the shortest time to kickstart the project. The Dysnix team had to build a secure infrastructure to host development and production environments, to run multi-tenant microservices-based workloads. After a while, one more environment for the monitoring processes was added, as our software product got a significant load. The team also set up the complex CI/CD systems using GitLab CI that we normally use for our projects’ hosting and provided in-depth consultancy.
How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
1 Cloud Architecture
1 Senior DevOps Engineer
1 Project Manager
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
We have an IaC and architecture prototypes that we use and build the whole architecture we want. We have an infallible and scalable Kubernetes-based infrastructure with fast and flexible CI/CD that we can implement, change, and maintain by ourselves. So it is a well-structured infrastructure as a code based on a ‘helm+helmfile’ couple that allows us to deploy our apps in Kubernetes by ourselves.
We continue working with Dysnix regarding development and some maintenance issues. The DevOps engineer who works on our project is a great guy. He does his work great. He is doing his best to reply to us as soon as possible, and we have no complaints, only praise.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
At the very beginning, we set a specific workflow according to different types of communication, the pipeline of the tasks, and monitoring of the implementation process. In this way, we got a great kind of balance between team members and understand each other well now. I need tasks to be done perfectly, which is exactly what I obtain from the Dysnix team. You need to find conscientious people to work with.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
I always like their responsible attitude to work and proactivity, as well as their special organizational autonomy in performing tasks: the team always strictly follows the schedule, starts working on a task, and comes with results in a few days. The outcome is always well-documented suggestions and new ideas on how it could be better implemented. Even if they have already found a working and well-fit solution, they will surely look for another option to discover an alternative to present to us. It is good to have additional and broader variants than focusing on the only one you are trying to achieve. That is what I highly appreciate in Dysnix engineers.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
I am happy with the service provided by Dysnix. I know that there are other unexplored opportunities for collaboration with this company and I’d like to discover them in the meanwhile

BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm Alex Momot, CEO at Remme. Our team has built the Distributed Public Key Infrastructure protocol and PKI-enabled apps to address the challenges of Web 3.0. The company products tackle the ever-increasing issues related to security, authentication, and digital certificate management.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire Dysnix, and what were your goals?
We brought in Dysnix for the consultancy, development, and further support of the infrastructure of the crypto-asset exchange. Dysnix had to develop a Kubernetes-based infrastructure from scratch in a short period of time — 1 month — for a quick start of the project. Also, the Dysnix team had to deploy the development and production environments with 30 services on Kubernetes as well as develop and run a CI/CD system. During the project maintenance (support) period, tasks expanded and Dysnix had to launch several new environments, and the number of project services increased to 70.
SOLUTION
How did you select Dysnix and what were the deciding factors?
Our colleagues in the crypto industry recommended Dysnix for the implementation of our project as a really reliable partner. We tried to work with Dysnix team on an outsourcing model and concluded that this model of partnership suits us better than having in-house engineers only.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
The Dysnix team successfully built a highly-available, secure, and scalable Kubernetes-based server infrastructure and also conducted an Infrastructure Cost Optimization by 40-50 percent. Their engineers offered and implemented the Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, full Deployment of services as Code using Helm and Helmfile, and a fully automated CI/CD system using CloudBuild.
Moreover, Dysnix designed and set up basic monitoring and alerting systems with custom business metrics. They also designed and implemented a custom solution to get a high-available scalable Ethereum JSON-RPC&Websockets service.
Their DevOps team provided continuous mentorship and consultancy of the in-house tech team. Together with the in-house team, Dysnix continues supporting the project with a high response time for events.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
We would like to note a high level of SLA provided. Also, the Dysnix team showed the high speed and quality of development and implementation of new features of the crypto-asset exchange. We, as a customer, are very pleased the Dysnix team made our product fault-tolerant.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
The in-house and Dysnix teams have operated in the best possible way. Sometimes, it even seems that Dysnix is a part of the in-house team because of its deep involvement in the project.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Dysnix engineers impressed us with their strong expertise in GCP, Kubernetes, and Blockchain technologies. In fact, you always have access to the whole pool of engineers who help each other, share their expertise, and in the end, the result is super-effective.
We realized that the work is fulfilled much better when there is a contractor team that is ready to participate in any work at any time and make up for the lack of expertise that the in-house team does not possess.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
We do not have additional wishes and preferences regarding Dysnix’s work. Everything is great!
