The main challenge was to make complex functionality and features easy and simple for users. All the development decisions and challenges were based on that mission. Being an eventsource project Bamboo needed to overcome hydration limitations. Because of the always-increasing number of events, the app deployment process became challenging. During deployment all events should be processed, and the more events were created - the harder and longer deployments were. And with time the extensive amount of events make it almost impossible to release new features due to the hydration time limit. So, the challenge for the TechMagic team was to find a solution for faster deployment without sacrificing app functionality and future growth. At the same time we needed to implement a Bam Reward system and Bam token.
Our backend supports 2 regions. All changes apply to both regions simultaneously. There is no latency for American nor Australian based users.
All our infrastructure is fully automated and described on a code level. There is no need in any manual actions, which allows us to launch an app fast in any region in a short period of time. This means that Bamboo application can be distributed in any region.
We updated to the latest version of React.native, Node.js versions, AWS CDK to keep up with trends and use newest features, and the latest security updates.
We set up integrations with American service Plaid, which connects user’s financial data to an app; Sila - an ACH payment processor, which we use for moving funds between bank accounts; and Kraken USA - cryptocurrency exchanges to buy and sell crypto.
System receives more than 50 000 events (requests) daily. For the past year we processed 15 000 000 events. That means that even enormous requests’ spike will not cause any problems even on crucial days, like Black Friday.
TechMagic team implemented the BAM Rewards program. Bamboo offers a personal token - BAM - that users can earn simply by using the app. This token operates on the Ethereum Blockchain by using its ERC20 protocol. The majority of cryptocurrency tokens in circulation today were made up with this. Bamboo chose this for its own token, because It's one of the most utilised and secure protocols available.

Our security team helped Bamboo identify and address security vulnerabilities within their mobile application. The project included:
We conducted a thorough penetration test, simulating real-world attack scenarios to uncover potential security weaknesses.
For each identified vulnerability, we created a detailed mitigation plan outlining the necessary steps for resolution. This plan gave the team a clear roadmap to address the security risks.
Our team provided ongoing support to the development team while implementing the security fixes. This approach ensured a smooth and successful process, minimizing disruptions to development timelines.
We developed a custom tool explicitly designed for Bamboo to streamline future security efforts. This tool allows the team to efficiently verify fixes for identified vulnerabilities, improving overall security posture.
We provided the team with an overview of automated security scanners that can continuously detect application vulnerabilities. This empowers the Bamboo team to incorporate proactive security measures into its ongoing development process.
We communicate with each one third-party integration provider independently to ensure the best outcome for the project.

The Bamboo team is spreaded throughout the World. Our part of the team is located in Ukraine. One of the developers is located in Ireland, and most of the team are Australians. 2 of backend developers from AU should be managed from Ukraine.Additionally, the PM from our side always keeps track of the tasks, to be sure that every team member, no matter where he is located and when starts his day, has everything needed from management and knows what to do. All the main communication was planned and scheduled in advance.
We started from classic kanban, without any links to releases. Then we practiced iteration kanban.
