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.
Core team of Bamboo are passionate about investing, and wanted to make it easier and more accessible for people without any crypto-experience to build their investment portfolio.
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 developers re-master legacy code to make it clean and easier-to-improve in future iterations. We have left all the features for users intacted, but made it simpler to work with and scale for developers. Clean code approach allows to attract new experts and ensure their easy cooperation technically-wise. We re-wrote hydration for every service, ensuring more sustainable functionality. Also, a lot of third-party integrations were added.

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.
