Koawach
**Challenge:** The co-founders of Koawach initially engaged our team to develop an adaptive e-commerce site. A month prior to the launch, they were invited to appear on the popular German television show Die Höhle Der Löwen and anticipated a significant spike in visitors and orders. Thus, the primary challenge was to create a web application capable of handling a sudden increase in traffic.
**Solution:** The specialists at IntexSoft focused on integrating payment systems and logistical support while also building a customized backend for the platform. We designed and incorporated an innovative system architecture tailored for this project. To enhance user experience, we developed a mobile-adaptive version of the platform, facilitating easy access through mobile devices. To prevent issues with blocking and blacklisting during mass email campaigns, our team tested several public servers and opted for the Gmail SMTP Server, allowing us to set daily sending limits for emails. The lining management system ensured control over the volume and frequency of the emails sent. The project utilized third-party payment systems secured by standard security protocols. A two-level security approach was implemented, ensuring a secure connection (HTTPS) between the browser and server, as well as between the server and payment systems. Within the data center, all servers were secured in an internal network that is not externally accessible through the firewall (DMZ), with only end-user requests passing through the primary firewall. Database access, protected by a second security layer, was limited to one specific device using a designated protocol.
**Tech Stack:** CSS3, HTML5, jQuery UI, Sass/LESS, PHP 5, AJAX, MySQL, Magento, Gmail SMTP Server, Batch.
