Innovative
Through our weekly Techups we either got to know a new, innovative topic every week or deepened our existing knowledge to new heights. Due to that, we packed our toolbox with a lot of tools and know-how for our 'be innovative' mission.
A lot of paradigms, technologies and methods were successfully introduced and transformed into tangible benefits for us
and our customers!
Celebratory
One of the big highlights this year was our individual passing of the
CKA
certification which enabled our company to officially get listed as a Kubernetes Certified Service Provider! With a lot
of commitment from your employees in passing the CKA and a huge jump in containerization expertise, we successfully
passed the requirements to become official partners of the CNCF where we are participating in ever since. But that was
just the icing on the cake. For several years by now, we managed to successfully work in Kubernetes-clustered
environments, either within customers infrastrucutre or within our own.
Domain-driven
In every sense we introduced and promoted domain-driven granularity
with
the help of microservice- and microfrontend-based architectures. For our customers, we were given the opportunity to
implement a microservice-based bridge connecting mobile apps with a set of legacy backend systems using Spring Boot as
our framework of choice. In a second unrelated project, we managed to decouple business logic into multiple
domain-specific microservices using Quarkus as our alternative framework of choice. Furthermore, internally we decided
to build up a multi-cloud architecture where a set of microservices were deployed in order to provide all business
requirements we were facing in regards to our own infrastrcture.
International
UIn order to provide accessibility and inclusivity in regards to
potential customers outside of the German-speaking world, most of our content is now also translated and available in
English. As you see, we are prepared and ready for international and global challenges from abroad. Also, with our newly
introduced weekly-based English day -which we simply call our b-nova English Day- where we use English as our main
business language in all our communications, we are willing to take the step to keep on improving our personal English
based communication skills with patience and practice!
Encouraging
All in all, the year 2021 was a successful year in our eyes, not only for us but also for our customers!
Teamed up together, we relaunched a SAP Commerce-based e-shop, migrated a bunch of
JBoss EAP-based applications, as well as PostgreSQL databases onto
the cloud, designed and implemented a microfrontend architecture including
authentication via OIDC, implemented a RESTful api gateway microservice bridge
and planned and executed the replacement of different systems with cloud natives solutions.
Besides all those successfully completed projects, we worked as participants of sprint teams and ensured constant
development and consulting expertise and most importantly we managed to deliver good vibes whenever needed. :-)
