Located in the bustling tech hub of London, United Kingdom, InfluEarners was more than just a startup. It was a hub of innovation and transformation in the world of cashback platforms. As a full-stack developer and project manager, I played a pivotal role in bringing to life a revolutionary cashback ecosystem built upon microservices architecture and powered by smart contracts.
At InfluEarners, we had a clear vision - to redefine the way users earned cashback on their purchases and referrals. Our platform allowed users to earn cashback on their own purchases and invite others to join, earning a percentage of their referrals' purchases. The magic happened through the power of smart contracts on the blockchain.
Our decision to adopt a microservices architecture was rooted in scalability. We understood that to accommodate a growing user base and evolving features, we needed a modular and flexible system. Microservices allowed us to break down monolithic structures into independent services.
Each microservice had its own responsibilities, data, and API. This isolation enabled agile development, where teams could work independently on their services without disrupting others. It also simplified testing and maintenance.
Smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain were at the core of our cashback platform. These self-executing contracts allowed for transparent and trustless execution of cashback and referral rewards. Users could trust that their rewards would be automatically distributed without the need for intermediaries.
The decentralized nature of blockchain ensured that no central authority controlled user funds or rewards. This enhanced security and reduced the risk of fraudulent activities.
My role included creating UML diagrams and detailed technical documentation. These documents served as blueprints for our development teams, ensuring a shared understanding of the system's architecture and design.
To manage the development process, we relied on JIRA for issue tracking and Confluence for collaborative documentation. These tools streamlined project management and facilitated communication among team members.
Our DevOps pipeline was designed for efficiency and reliability. Continuous integration and deployment ensured that code changes were rigorously tested and seamlessly deployed, reducing the risk of bugs and downtime.
InfluEarners was more than just a cashback platform; it was a testament to the transformative power of microservices and smart contracts. By adopting a modular architecture and harnessing blockchain technology, we created a platform that offered transparency, trust, and innovative cashback solutions.
This project underscored the potential of technology to reshape traditional industries and empower users to earn and refer with confidence. InfluEarners was a pioneering step towards a more decentralized and user-centric cashback ecosystem.
