Challenge

The company, which provides B2B solutions, needed to develop a web application portal to host various services for its customers. The primary challenge was to design a system that could handle fine-grained access control based on the different levels of authentication and authorization required by various clients. Ensuring security while maintaining flexibility in service delivery was crucial for the company’s success in expanding its offerings.

Solution

Our team designed a full-stack web application architecture utilizing microservices best practices. We broke down the monolithic system into modular, resilient services, each running in isolated pods with infrastructure designed to handle traffic spikes and service failures. We developed lightweight applications using FastAPI, which were then exposed through API gateways designed specifically for secure access and seamless integration.

For authentication and authorization, we implemented federated identity management using tools like Okta, ensuring secure, scalable, and fine-grained access control. The API gateway was leveraged to manage authorization policies, providing a seamless experience for end-users. Additionally, we automated the GitOps process, enabling deployments that targeted only the specific microservice needing updates, rather than affecting the entire platform.

As a result, the company experienced a 170% increase in traffic and expanded its customer outreach significantly, thanks to the scalable, secure, and efficient architecture we implemented.
