Nostalgia Festival Mobile App

eSolutions developed:

• A custom development to our headless CMS - panomio, designed to handle the content needs of Nostalgia, facilitating straightforward updates and administration.
• A mobile application available to be downloaded from Google Play and App Store which offers users real-time and efficient access to various information about concerts and happenings.
• Reports and charts using Superset and Firebase allow administrators to analyze variations across different festivals and based on the results improve the participants' experience for future festivals.
• Nostalgia Reporting using Superset is a web-based application structured on a RESTful API design, featuring a multi-layered development approach and deployed on eSolutions infrastructure.
• The application securely manages all generated and processed data within a PostgreSQL database.
• The backend, a Java application built using Spring Boot, incorporates various services including Superset. It is containerized with Docker and orchestrated with Kubernetes in the production environment. The app communicates with a PostgreSQL database and implements Firebase FCM functionalities like sending messages and notifications on different message topics. It also includes the primary methods of authentication and authorization for mobile device users.
• The mobile application built using Flutter and Dart provides a cross-platform solution ensuring a consistent and high-quality user experience across both iOS and Android devices. This approach allows for a single codebase to be maintained, which streamlines the development process and speeds up the release of updates and new functionalities. The app implements Firebase FCM capabilities for receiving push notifications and also network data caching mechanisms, allowing it to work offline. The main source of data for the mobile app is a CMS(Content Management System) system that incorporates a very well structured dataset.
• A continuous integration pipeline is configured, which helps deliver new features faster and more securely to the production environment.
• Logging and monitoring are implemented using the Grafana Stack (Grafana, Loki) for real-time visibility into the application's performance and the ability to quickly diagnose and resolve any issues.
• The entire development process is based on the Agile / Scrum methodology.
