Postman Project File
Some of the most satisfying jobs are some of the most boring jobs. We are currently working on an API (which is being used to support a ERP Saas Product). The API is being used as a central point for the web and mobile interface. So the front end developers have a decent interface to test the calls to the API, they need a comprehensive Postman Project. Not only have we designed the API but we have provided the project file that can be imported.

New Project
Not every day you get asked to build a social media platform for one of the largest developing markets on the planet. Yesterday after a couple of months of negotiation we got the green light to start the work. A rather large project we are about to undertake. Hoping to try and get the MVP ready before the end of the year. The key considerations, simplicity, speed and low very low data loads. As part of our agreement we are not allowed to disclose the budget for this project however we will share more as and when we get further details.
Simplifying Cron management with ClearCron
While we build a huge amount of software for our clients we do not produce much for ourselves. This has now come to an end, for something we find very tedious and boring. Crons. Crons are those scheduled tasks that we need to run at different frequencies. We have being using this behind the scenes for our clients for 18 months now and is a very reliable, and accurate system. If you need a hand with your crons head over to www.clearcron.con

AI Interaction
Brains are being picked by a partner of ours on their new app they are building. One of the core components is integration with GPT. Having more than of a couple of years under our belts on AI work, we were more than happy to help. So we wrote some code that could take in some fields (country, income, location) and use the ChatGPT to get a structured response on the types of demographic information. It didnt take long to put together but really opens up the creative side of our brains to see what is possible in this new AI world.
For those who are interested we used Lambda (Node.js).
New client time
We have been contacted by a company in the fashion industry who need a hand creating a mobile app. We will be providing the design (ui, ux), API, web version, and the iOS and Android app. The build and scope of the app is significant with a launch into multiple global locations. We will keep you posted. Solution architecture is well underway.

opensearch
More and more often companies are having to create a traceable audit of what they have and also have not done. Some of the simplest forms of auditability is keeping a copy of emails that have been sent from ERP's, with proof of deliverability and also that they have been opened. Configuration sets in AWS can achieve this simply, also with OpenSearch, searching this log is almost instant. The end result is a full traceable, searchable audit of our clients interaction with their employees.

AWS Cost Reduction
We have to continually keep an eye on AWS Costs and where possible we have to make changes in applications to find a more cost efficient method to getting the same output. Below is an example of reducing the size of an RDS Instance and implementing AWS Elasticache to take some of the database load. The end result $2,400 in savings a month.

YouTube Management
One of our clients has a pretty significant YouTube Channel. We manage the full backend of this channel for them. Including the live streaming and the copyright management. Probably not the usual hardcore technical features that are expected of us but allows them to focus on creating their content which creates tens of thousands of AdSense revenue each month.
