Overview
As engineers at our agency, we led a comprehensive project for a rental e-commerce platform, where we took on all engineering responsibilities and managed a substantial amount of legacy code. One of our primary objectives was to enhance the platform's performance, and through rigorous optimization, we succeeded in improving the response time by an impressive 300%. This significant boost in speed greatly enriched the user experience, making the platform more efficient and enjoyable to use.
In addition to performance improvements, we focused on optimizing resource usage. By meticulously analyzing and refining the system's architecture, we managed to reduce server memory consumption by half. This reduction not only made the platform more efficient but also cut down on operational costs, providing long-term benefits for the business.
Furthermore, we completely re-built the checkout process, addressing numerous inefficiencies and user pain points. Our redesign streamlined transactions, making them smoother and more intuitive. This overhaul significantly enhanced user satisfaction and contributed to a more robust and reliable platform overall.
