Senvio collaborated with Hazelcast to develop a modern frontend for their cloud-native management center—a complex application that helps engineering teams monitor and manage in-memory data clusters in real time.

Issues and solutions
Goal was to iteratively refactor the existing code-base from jQuery to a stack that is easy to maintain while improving overall UX.
Front-end expertize
The project required frontend expertise to deliver a responsive and intuitive UI for monitoring, configuring, and managing real-time data infrastructure.
Iterative roadmap
Project had to still allow a timely delivery of new features
Analysis
We did a thorough analysis of the jQuery stack that revealed that the code-base was large and the code-style was generally imperative.
Since we needed technologies that would enable us an incremental refactoring approach, we chose React, Redux and RxJS as the core technologies to build on, while incrementally integrating TypeScript.
We managed to migrate the whole code-base within one year.
How we delivered
Reusable Components
Built scalable, modular components using Tailwind CSS to streamline new feature delivery
Design Implementation
Translated complex product requirements into clean, intuitive interfaces
Embedded our team into Hazelcast’s agile workflows for a tight coordination with Hazelcast's backend engineers.
Written tests to make sure the application is stable and our changes won't break existing functionality.
Maintained high code quality and detailed documentation
Technologies
Modern stack with scalable components system
ReactJS
TypeScript

Tailwind CSS
Modernizing our code-base was not an easy task as we also needed to make our customers happy at the same time, adding new features or fixing existing bugs. I’m happy to say that we accomplished what we set out to do, thanks to the hard work of developers at Senvio.
