BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am a freelance software developer. I mainly work with software agencies working on mobile and backend development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire December Labs, and what were your goals?

We had a mobile app project that needed a scalable backend solution. We brought December Labs in to design and build the backend architecture for the project.

SOLUTION

How did you select December Labs and what were the deciding factors?

I knew December Labs from my local co-working space. Since I also work in software development, we had already had several conversations about collaborating. I also knew of several projects that they worked on that went well.

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

December Labs helped us design and develop the backend architecture for a mobile app. They developed an Express app in Node.js hosted on EC2, designed and setup a PostgreSQL database on AWS RDS, and setup several other AWS services like S3, SES, Cognito, and Lambda. They setup a Postman instance for our QA team so we could QA their work while the front end was still being worked on. They set up a Forest Admin account so we could easily make changes to our data as needed. They provided us with technical documentation and support after the main development was finished.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We worked with 2 people. One senior architect and one backend developer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

December Labs went above and beyond and finished their work faster than expected. They stayed available to help as our other dev continued to finish his work. We were extremely happy with their work, and they were a pleasure to work with. The dev we worked with was available at all times, and gave us constant updates.

The senior architect was available to help us make structural changes when the project direction pivoted here and there. We asked them to work on several different cloud services, and they did a great job incorporating all the different services. The code quality was great and we loved having their dev available to work with our mobile dev on the project.

After the project finished they provided support and technical documentation as questions came up. I am looking forward to working with them again on future projects.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.

Both of the individuals we worked with were available to chat with us whenever we needed to. We used an Agile setup with a Kanban board on Trello. At the beginning of every sprint we worked through what work would get finished and what the major goal of the sprint is. We also set aside some QA time for our team, so we could address any issues as they came up. Their main dev worked directly with out mobile dev, and their senior architect was available to meet when needed.

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

They did not simply join the project to do development, they got invested in the quality of the work and made several recommendations that greatly improved the project. They were always available for advice. They also worked through any technical challenges. Working with their team was seamless.

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

No, we were very pleased with their work and will work with them again.
