Back-end Developer
Apr 2021 - Oct 20221 year 6 months
Project Overview

The project started by having dozens of Zapier and Make/Workato integrations that were created to connect lead sources (i.e. Meta, custom forms, chats, etc.) to CRMs and other analytics systems. We started the migration as a FastAPI app to handle complex integrations (those that were impossible to create with Zapier/Make/Workato), for several clients. After a while, the project scaled and the we decided to migrate from FastAPI to Golang and Gin, in order to handle concurrency in a more efficient way. Currently the project handles millions of requests per day.

Responsibilities:
  • Developed the first version using FastAPI;
  • Abstracted the integrations and API objects to reuse them across different clients;
  • Integrated dozens of APIs using HTTPX async library to make non-blocking API calls and maintain the app's ability to handle concurrent requests;
  • Moved away from FastAPI and re-wrote the app with Go and Gin;
  • Moved away from Heroku to Virtuozzo.
