Vesta.us is a beautiful illustration of how big data is changing our world and how people and companies can benefit incredibly from big data processing. 

Vesta is a startup built to solve a specific problem and a specific business, which has turned into a global solution for the entire international market.
Vesta offers its customers the functions of collecting, cleaning, supplementing and distributing product data. As well as the functions of data exchange between ERP mimthems of large manufacturers and sellers of goods. Vesta operates with data on millions of products every minute.

As a result, we got this flow:

• collecting feedback from clients
• identification of recurring and systemic tasks and problems
• revealing customer expectations from the platform
• development of a technical product development roadmap
• building 2 teams for operational and strategic tasks
• synchronization, development, retrospective according to the Scrum methodology
• reporting for management and investors
• roadmap adjustment depending on actual conditions
• The main part of the functionality for MPV was created in 2014 with the PHP language and MySql database without Frameworks and additional optimization tools.
• Our task was the optimization, renovation of the product and its rethinking from a technical point of view.

We made decisions to build a microservice architecture that would gradually implement the main functions of the project, and used the appropriate technical stack for each task.

So we used LUA to execute scripts, we used GOLang for basic processing, we used Python for parsing and development of the admin panel. For critical operations, we used non-relational databases instead of MySql. This approach is more difficult to implement, but it allowed us to achieve extremely high performance, which is the basis for the business solution that the Vesta platform offers to its customers.

After 2 years of teamwork, Vesta was bought out by a larger player in the market and became part of a large ecosystem within the E-commerce giant.

Vesta solves the problem of working with data for the E-commerce and Retail industry, allows customers to get incredible benefits from a seemingly simple service.

Our team joined the project after the MVP release stage and the appearance of the first users. Therefore, we focused on the development and optimization of functionality. We had an important stage of scaling the project from 5-10 clients to 100-1000 clients. These were very challenging tasks.
