Used to develop the server-side logic of the application. This would involve handling things like database interactions, and API endpoints for data exchange. Express was chosen on the backend because it’s ideal for projects that prioritize simplicity, flexibility, and a large community for support.

Used by the backend to develop separate TypeScript files for your custom frontend logic. This technology is useful to catch errors early in development, preventing runtime issues, and making code easier to debug.

Here is where large amounts of structured data are efficiently stored and managed. This data can be used by the backend to power dynamic functionalities within the GA website.

It simplifies interacting with databases like PostgreSQL, by automatically generating code for data queries. Prisma made working with the database more efficiently.

This is a cloud-based authentication and authorization platform. It was used by the backend and frontend to provide a secure and scalable solution for user authentication, reducing development time

A visual development platform for building websites with a low-code approach, it allowed us to design the user interfaces and interactions with a drag-and-drop interface.

Working Model screen
working model and team

Since Game Achievements was looking for high technical expertise, we followed the Managed Project working model, which included our product-oriented Front and Back-end Developers, Designers, and Project Managers.

Front-end Developers: Implemented custom scripting solutions, and styled the forum section, focusing on UX.

Back-end Developers: Built the server-side functionality, the database to store player information, ensuring website performance and scalability, optimizing the code to handle a large number of users and ensuring quick load-times. At a later stage, they made the integration with the forum system.

Designers: Worked side by side with the client and developer to design the user interface, with a focus on UX. Created the visual identity for the forum system, with a look and feel that integrated the forum seamlessly with the rest of the website.

Project Managers: Defined the project requirements and outlined the scope of the project.
