Development of a Custom Distributed Task Processing and Integration Framework for Enterprise Applications

The client faces stability and reliability issues within their legacy software systems, partly due to complex dependencies and outdated codebases. They require support for multiple Python versions (including older iterations like 3.7) and compatibility with various message brokers such as RabbitMQ and cloud-based queues like Amazon SQS. Additionally, broken integration tests hinder system reliability, affecting operational efficiency and incurring significant financial losses.

A large enterprise organization seeking to enhance its internal data processing, task scheduling, and system integration capabilities with reliable, scalable, and customizable solutions.

• Enhance system stability and reliability by customizing and stabilizing distributed task processing libraries.
• Support a broad range of Python versions (e.g., 3.7 to 3.10) to ensure backward compatibility.
• Achieve seamless compatibility with multiple message brokers and backends such as RabbitMQ and Amazon SQS.
• Revive and modernize legacy codebases to improve maintainability and performance.
• Develop comprehensive integration tests to ensure dependable communication between systems and message brokers, reducing failures and operational risks.
• Introduce structured APIs to facilitate task management, monitoring, and automation within enterprise processes.

• A task queue system that supports real-time processing and scheduled tasks.
• An API for managing, creating, and monitoring task execution with unique identifiers, progress logging, and completion tracking.
• Compatibility layer supporting multiple Python versions from 3.7 to 3.10.
• Support for various message brokers, including RabbitMQ and cloud-based solutions like Amazon SQS.
• Revamped and modernized legacy code for improved stability and performance.
• Automated and comprehensive integration testing suite that simulates real-world interactions.
• Support for asynchronous task execution with monitoring and fault tolerance.

• Message brokers: RabbitMQ, Amazon SQS
• Legacy systems requiring modernized communication interfaces
