Some details
Client had:
Reco.se is a Swedish tech company behind the largest independent review site in Sweden where customers describe their previous experiences with a variety of companies.
Client needed:
We’ve joined our clients team to quickly scale their efforts and together we have
been developing the platform on an ongoing basis. The scope of our work includes new features development, but also DevOps tasks and bug fixing.
We did:
We contributed to a number of infrastructure projects, one of which was moving from self-hosting to GCP cloud. We were also responsible for a major refactoring that included, for example, mailparsing project and search API project with Elastic Search integration.
Outcome:
The platform is currently the largest independent review site in Sweden. Since March 2019, users who want to leave a review need to get verified with their bank ID, which contributes to the website transparency and credibility.
