Mind Tools 3.0 Platform - Corvus Event Architecture
The Challenge
Emerald Works needed to merge two separate acquired systems (Good Practice and Mind Tools) into a single, scalable platform fit for the next decade. The challenge was creating a seamless Event Driven architecture that could eliminate traditional client-server boundaries.
Our Solution
DevSquad built Corvus, an innovative event-driven architecture using AWS serverless tech stack with always-on duplex websockets. This eliminated the traditional HTTP machine boundary between clients and servers, creating a transparent protocol for event marshalling.
The Results
Corvus successfully "disappeared from view" - the ultimate success metric. Developers could raise events without worrying about whether processing happened client-side or in AWS Lambda. The architecture enabled seamless scaling and reduced the learning curve for new developers.
Key Metrics:
- Seamless serverless architecture
- Eliminated client-server boundaries
- 5+ year partnership
DevSquad felt like part of the business, not just an external service. Excellence summarizes our relationship with DevSquad.— Gent Ahmetaj, Mind Tools
