Middleware Api That Syncs And Communicates With Outside World
About Client
The client is St. Petersburg, FL based incentive marketing firm which has specialized in building and managing digital rewards programs. It helps the client to gain their sales goal by spending effective and minimum on marketing budgets. Plus, the client is into back-end procurement and fulfillment of tickets for concerts, sports events, theme parks etc. It provides the electronic gift cards also as part of rewards programs. The client contacted Brainvire to develop a special API that communicates with third party APIs and performs all the sync tasks to stay updated.
About Product
The team of Brainvire developers created a web API that acts as a middleware between the client website and third-party APIs. This API is developed as per the standard protocols. It sends the requests to the third party APIs and fetches response from them. Plus, it stores all the information received from the third party APIs. Moreover, Brainvire team designed the interface as per the client requirement. This middleware stays in sync with the 3rd party APIs to make the latest information available on the site.
How we did it ?
Existing Code API compliance
Security
Robust Portal with High Performance
Challenge: Understanding current portal and creating API based on that
The client already had a portal which needed to be in sync with third-party APIs. It was quite challenging for Brainvire developers to understand both current system’s database and architecture.
Solution:
Brainvire’s ASP.Net experienced developers took an extra care and focused on sync and stream real-time information. Having understood client system, Brainvire developers got complete protocol and API exposure to third-party APIs. Finally, the developers created an architecture to act as a middleware between with both in-house and 3rd party APIs.
Challenge: Making existing code API compliant
The client wanted to be exposed to outside world. In order to provide that exposure, the existing code needed to be compliant with the API structure. Since the code was written without documentation, it was really tough for developers to make amendments in the existing code.
Solution:
Brainvire team of developers created an architecture of the system as well as the architecture for the proposed system. By analyzing both, the developers found out the areas where restructuring needed and coded accordingly to make the portal API compliant.
Challenge: Providing security when exposed to outside world
The client strongly asked for a secure portal against cyber threats. Since there were elements of payment gateways integration and information communication, the portal must be robust enough to handle all the security threats.
Solution:
With the years of experience in providing highly secure solutions, Brainvire developers implemented SSL certificates, security patches and authentication modules for the same. In addition to that, Brainvire’s QA team performed rigorous testing to ensure an end to end security of the web portal.
Challenge: High Performance on heavy traffic
The client wanted a smooth functioning of the website even if millions of users are connected to the API. The API’s performance in terms of speed and communication shouldn’t be degraded if the traffic is too heavy.
Solution:
With the strong background of MVC framework and the robustness of latest technologies such as ASP.net, ADO.net, and JQuery, the developers could finally deliver a solution that runs smoothly even if the load goes very high on the portal. With the automation tool, the middleware was checked against heavy load N number of times and as per the results, each time developers rectified the errors to provide high performance. Finally, the middleware API with high speed against heavy load was delivered to the client.Result
