Rapidsearch needed to optimize its development process, which had been causing slowdowns and impacting business growth. It was important to do it without disrupting their high-traffic webshop extension.

The Solution

We worked with the client to:

  • Replace the database causing slow development - Cloud Firestore to MongoDB.
  • Triple build speed and improve hot module replacement.
  • Set up proper caching architecture behind the database management layer for better performance.
  • Organize the monorepo and fix broken static testing.
  • Implement automated testing processes, pre-commit hooks and PR checks.
  • Set up the local development environment using Docker.

The Outcome

After optimizing the development process, Rapidsearch now has a stable app with fewer bugs, allowing for faster feature development and smoother operations. We continue working with them as consultants on smaller missions.
