Migration to Scalable, Independent Infrastructure and Feature Enhancement for a Non-Profit Tech Platform

The organization’s existing platform was fully dependent on a legacy tech partner and proprietary hosting solutions, limiting scalability, control, and flexibility. Critical system dependencies hindered progress, and the infrastructure lacked industry-standard security and robustness. Additionally, the platform required enhancements to improve user experience, authentication, and performance, with the need for a reliable, continuous delivery process to enable ongoing feature development and bug fixes.

A mid-sized non-profit organization managing a global platform to facilitate donations, track impact, and support community engagement.

• Achieve full migration to scalable, industry-standard cloud infrastructure with independent control over repositories, databases, and assets.
• Enhance user authentication by integrating social sign-in options (e.g., Google, Facebook) to improve accessibility and engagement.
• Optimize platform performance, reducing load times and resolving critical bugs affecting user experience.
• Implement features such as onboarding tutorials and alphabetized organization listings to improve usability.
• Establish automated, continuous delivery pipelines to facilitate regular feature releases and bug fixes.
• Ensure infrastructure scalability to support future growth and feature expansion.

• Migration of existing repositories, databases, APIs, and assets to scalable cloud services.
• Configuration of secure social sign-in via providers like Google and Facebook.
• Implementation of onboarding walkthroughs to highlight app features.
• Performance improvements including faster content loading and alphabetized organization listings.
• Bug tracking and resolution mechanisms for critical issues such as update errors and scrolling performance.
• A continuous delivery pipeline leveraging modern DevOps tools for regular updates.
• Backend optimization for seamless performance and reliability.

• Social authentication providers (Google, Facebook) via identity management services
• Secure pipelines and environment configurations for production and testing
• Monitoring tools for performance and uptime tracking

• Security: Implement industry-standard security protocols for social sign-in and data protection.
• Scalability: Support increased user engagement and future growth without impacting performance.
• Availability: Target high uptime with minimal downtime during migration and updates.
• Performance: Optimize page load speeds, ensuring critical pages load within acceptable time frames.
• Reliability: Resolve backend and frontend bugs promptly with automated testing and monitoring.

The project aims to fully migrate the platform to an independent, scalable infrastructure, resulting in enhanced control, security, and scalability. User engagement is expected to increase through improved authentication options, faster load times, and better usability. The implementation of reliable, automated deployment processes will enable continuous innovation, supporting long-term growth. Specific metrics include 100% migration of repositories and assets, increased social sign-ins, resolution of critical bugs, and steady rollout of new features, laying a robust foundation for future expansion.
