This system relied on a PostgreSQL Database, into which I successfully migrated over 1 million customer records. We encountered and effectively addressed scalability challenges, following a semi-Agile methodology facilitated through tools like Trello and later Clubhouse.Subsequently, we initiated the development of a React Front End, incorporating GraphQL and Apollo to interact with the same PostgreSQL database, albeit through a Node Microservice. My responsibilities extended to overseeing the team responsible for crafting our Mobile app in React Native, including the creation of Detox tests for end-to-end testing.Throughout this endeavor, I ensured that the Rails Monolithic API remained tested, and the Node microservice, along with other microservices deployed to supplant the Rails API and frontend views, adhered to meticulous design and testing standards. The process of deconstructing the monolithic application into microservices demonstrated exceptional architectural foresight, optimizing performance and scalability, particularly with Kubernetes deployment, given our substantial user base.
