For years, our client had been offering traffic management services<\/a> to third parties through two major public APIs \u2013 one standard and one customer-specific that was tailored to the requirements of a leading US automaker. Our client had a separate development team dealing with each API. But with an increase in data volumes plus new features and new data vendors, this approach proved too costly and complex to maintain. The API merge called for\u00a0migrating\u00a0all\u00a0development, testing, and delivery environments\u00a0from the US\u00a0to\u00a0the\u00a0German office.\u00a0Until\u00a0the\u00a0migration\u00a0was complete, the existing staging and production environments needed to be\u00a0properly\u00a0maintained\u00a0and updated\u00a0to\u00a0retain\u00a0business continuity and\u00a0a\u00a0high\u00a0level\u00a0of\u00a0customer\u00a0service.<\/p>\n Our collaboration started with knowledge transfer and elaboration of technical aspects of the migration and merge plan. Then we migrated the entire traffic data processing and API codebase, including the subscriber API, TMC-RDS services (traffic alerts through FM radio networks), and internal solutions. Further important milestones included moving all SoapUI test cases to a proprietary traffic automation test framework and comparing the coverage of existing test cases against required functionality. The final challenge was merging all continuous integration and delivery environments into our infrastructure.<\/p>\n Continuing this successful cooperation, Intellias has taken ownership of the entire navigation real time traffic data processing and API program. We\u2019re now the sole contact point for design, quality control, development, deployment, and support.<\/p>\n With such\u00a0rich expertise and commitment, it\u2019s\u00a0no wonder\u00a0that\u00a0Intellias\u00a0has\u00a0managed to extend\u00a0collaboration with\u00a0this\u00a0client\u00a0to\u00a0other\u00a0work\u00a0streams,\u00a0where\u00a0we\u00a0have:<\/p>\n In terms of quality control,\u00a0we\u00a0built a full end-to-end performance evaluation framework\u00a0from the ground up to\u00a0run synthetic tests.\u00a0The framework\u00a0allows\u00a0client applications to measure the performance impact on different product parts when pumping increased amounts of traffic input data.\u00a0Our focus\u00a0on quality also\u00a0complemented\u00a0the\u00a0implementation of\u00a0healthcheck monitors for\u00a0the\u00a0existing traffic flow rendering service.<\/p>\n\n Traffic Management Software Development Services <\/p>\n Our collective accomplishments reflect the effort, expertise, and management excellence that Intellias has invested into our client\u2019s software production process. We\u2019ve already successfully released the first version of the merged traffic data API with enhanced performance and stability.<\/p>\n Recently,\u00a0our\u00a0Intellias\u00a0team became\u00a0the\u00a0dedicated engineering\u00a0partner\u00a0in charge of\u00a0specific traffic data and\u00a0an\u00a0API\u00a0used\u00a0by a US auto giant.\u00a0Our team\u00a0directly communicates\u00a0with the automaker\u2019s teams and covers\u00a0all development and release management tasks.<\/p>\n We helped our customer<\/b><\/p>\n
\nOur client decided to merge their public APIs into a single one while enhancing quality, backward compatibility, and performance. Cooperating with the client on several pivotal programs, experienced Intellias engineers took responsibility for carrying out the merge.<\/p>\nTechnology solution<\/h2>\n
