Overview
We enhanced the architecture of a platform designed to enable users to receive bids from car garages for selling their vehicles online. This involved adding new features and user interfaces to an existing full-stack Play Framework application, leveraging technologies such as MongoDB, HTML5, jQuery, and SASS to create a seamless and engaging user experience.
To improve system performance and responsiveness, we introduced AKKA actors to manage asynchronous tasks like image processing and email notifications. Additionally, we migrated the platform’s image handling system from MongoDB GridFS to an Amazon S3 bucket, implementing an asynchronous structure to ensure efficient storage and retrieval processes.
