A comprehensive project to streamline application setup for a fintech innovator focused on stock valuation.

Project Description

The DCF Valuation Interface Development project is centered around enhancing the stock valuation processes for Softcane, an early-stage fintech company. The project aimed to refine the multi-stack application setup to ensure seamless integration and faster onboarding for developers. By delivering a simplified yet robust configuration across pivotal technological layers such as backend (Spring Boot), frontend (Angular), and Python services, the project ensured improved maintainability. This setup not only addressed existing inconsistencies but also facilitated a cohesive environment for accelerated development and deployment. The innovative architecture employed during this project led to enhanced performance and user experience, thus benefiting end-users and developers alike.

Scope of Work

The client's primary objective was to eradicate inconsistencies in their application setup and expedite the development process. The need for a unified environment was crucial, covering backend, frontend, and Python-based services. The focus areas included synchronizing version controls, aligning environment configurations, and ensuring tool compatibility for streamlined deployments. These efforts were aimed at optimizing the developer onboarding process, reducing setup time, and ensuring efficient resource utilization, ultimately contributing to the project's timely launch.

Our Solution

To cater to the client’s requirements, a meticulous setup process was devised. The backend was configured using Java 17 and Spring Boot 3 with PostgreSQL 15, facilitating dependency management through Maven and enabling seamless local deployment via environment-specific profiles. The frontend saw the initialization of Angular 17, ensuring uniform UI behavior. A standalone Python server was integrated to bridge modules, ensuring full functionality. Additionally, IDE compatibility was prioritized by providing configurations for IntelliJ, STS, and Eclipse, accommodating different developer preferences and augmenting the development experience.
