About Project

Bamboo Micro-investment app with its own token and reward system from Australia. You don’t need to have any investment experience to make profit on this app. It does everything for you. Bamboo helps people grow their portfolios with round-ups, top-ups, and dollar cost averaging. It links with your bank account, and makes tiny investments when you spend money. You set a comfort rounding off the amount you spend, it accumulates and invests across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold and Silver Standard.

Challenges

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.

Challenges

Backend Specifics

Our backend supports 2 regions. All changes apply to both regions simultaneously. There is no latency for American nor Australian based users.

BAM Rewards

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.

Work Approach

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.

Step 1
Iterational Kanban

We started from classic kanban, without any links to releases. Then we practiced iteration kanban.

Step 2
Flexible approach

We maintain a flexible approach to be able to meet client’s changing needs, to meet not only technical, but business goals.

Step 3
SCRUM ceremonies

We conducted retrospectives and implemented some classic SCRUM ceremonies, including sprints when it was possible.

Step 4
Regular communications

We introduced "daily" meetings 3 times a week with the CEO and CTO of Bamboo joining.

Project Outcome

Thanks to TechMagic, Bamboo was able to experience a 700% active users increase due to the new features and capability added.
