Platform re-architecture into microservices for a leading media licensing company

The client aimed to facilitate the maintenance, customization, and addition of new features to their web and admin platform. To achieve this, they wanted to re-archtiecture the monolith-based backend of these platforms.

N-iX helped the client re-architecture a massive monolithic architecture into microservices to make the web and admin platforms easier to maintain and customize. We utilized the serverless approach for the architecture, eliminating the need to maintain servers and enabling the client to use the pay-as-you-go model. After successfully developing a PoC of the Transition microservice using Nest.js, we applied its TypeScript-based framework for microservices related to user identity, subscription, and online sales.

Additionally, N-iX engineers helped implement a Single Sing-On multi-factor authentication and a social login for the client’s products. We also helped improve subscription management by decoupling a massive legacy Subscription module into smaller and more flexible microservices, such as Rebilling, Adjustment, and Transition.

Finally, N-iX helped the client develop Promotions and Product APIs to facilitate the management of promotional activities.

By re-architecting the web and admin platforms with N-iX, the client gained several substantial advantages:

• Streamlined the development, testing, maintenance, and customization of the web and admin platforms with new microservices-based architecture;
• Reduced maintenance costs by utilizing the serverless approach to architecture design.
