Yoga Joint: A Digital Transformation in Wellness

Challenges Encountered

1. Scaling Infrastructure: As Yoga Joint’s community expanded, the need for powerful servers to handle the increased traffic also increased. They require the infrastructure to scale to provide high availability and performance throughput to handle sporadic bursts of high activity without slowing down or requiring additional resources.
2. Cross-Platform App Quality: The application was debugged and fine-tuned extensively to provide a coherent user experience across multiple devices.
3. Efficient Update Mechanisms: Since people’s fitness preferences and expectations from memberships change over time, Yoga Joint needed a solution to deliver updates to its mobile application in real-time without making the consumers download the entire application again.
4. Error Monitoring: Tracking the current status and prompt problem-solving became important to keep the application stable and increase user credibility.

Strategic Solutions

To overcome these challenges, Coding Crafts deployed innovative solutions tailored to Yoga Joint’s needs:

1. Scalable Server Architecture: By incorporating AWS features like EC2 and load balancing, the team made it possible for servers to scale up or down depending on user traffic intensity while keeping performance high.
2. Comprehensive Testing: A combination of automated and actual user site testing techniques ensured the app works seamlessly on iOS and Android without error.
3. CodePush Integration: To achieve updates without interruption, CodePush was integrated to allow the new features and fixes to be activated with a single click without reinstalling the application.
4. Real-Time Error Monitoring with Sentry: This solution also enabled easy identification and management of problems so that the app did not get stuck.

Technological Stack

The project utilized state-of-the-art technologies for development and deployment:

• Frontend: React, React Native, Ant Design
• Backend: Node.js, Firebase, PostgreSQL
• Infrastructure: AWS (S3, CodePipeline), Heroku, PM2
