Overview

We supported the Stockshifters application, developed using Zend Framework and Doctrine, by maintaining the existing system and creating new modules such as the friendly URL feature, stock picker wizard, and the "make an offer" functionality. Similarly, we provided support for the Koodos application, built on Symfony 1.2 with Propel, by implementing new features for the website's re-launch, including the "close page" functionality and "refer a friend" feature.

As part of infrastructure improvements, we migrated the Stockshifters website from private virtual servers to a Rackspace "e-trader" platform. This migration involved setting up a load-balanced MySQL cluster using RHCS, alongside load-balanced web servers configured with Pix firewalls. For the Koodos platform, we managed its migration from Digivate (Digicommerce) to Rackspace's "e-trader" platform, deploying it on Red Hat 5 servers with Apache, MySQL, SSL certificates, and the e-trader MySQL Cluster.

Additionally, we established a new development environment, including setting up an SVN repository with HTTP authentication, creating new development sandboxes, staging websites, and deployment scripts using Bash. This ensured a streamlined and efficient workflow for ongoing development and deployment activities.
