Espeo was solely responsible
for web application development and its deployment to the client’s infrastructure. We developed the backend using Java 8, Spring. Vaadin was used for the webview and its communication with the backend. RabbitMQ facilitated data synchronization between the system developed and other applications in the client ecosystem.
The project started in August 2016. We started with a scrum team of four and over the course of 2017, the team grew to eight. Once the goal of the project was reached and the rollout to other Distribution Groups started the project went into maintenance mode with minimum development and a smaller team. Now (April 2019) the team is being upscaled again as the new owner of the company wants to expand the capabilities of the platform
