Optimizing System Scalability with Modular Architecture and Stress Testing
Feodal approached us with a challenge: their growing client base exposed critical scalability issues. The existing system couldn’t handle the increasing data flow efficiently, leading to delays in processing GPS packets, especially when more than 1,000 trackers were connected at once. These performance setbacks impacted operations and required an urgent solution.
Feodal.land is a land bank visualization system that integrates data from two official registries: the State Land Cadastre and the State Register of Property Rights to Real Estate. The platform enables farmers to manage their land assets, monitor lease agreements, expand land holdings, and track unregistered plots. It also helps users identify cultivated areas and detect encroachments, providing valuable insights for land management.
We successfully addressed the scalability challenge by breaking down the monolithic system into modular services that can scale horizontally across multiple system nodes. To ensure system stability, we also developed a GPS tracker simulator module to conduct rigorous stress testing and validate performance under heavy loads.
The results were game-changing:
