Sensible faced a significant challenge: while their lead infrastructure engineer had built a robust system on AWS, the team lacked deep expertise in AWS best practices. This gap led to inefficiencies and potential pitfalls in performance, cost, and maintainability. Specifically, Sensible needed guidance on integrating server-side events into their backend, which was entirely run on AWS Lambda with no internal network, posing a unique challenge for persistent server requirements.

Recognizing the need for expert design advice, Sensible engaged SnapSoft for architectural design consulting. SnapSoft's team, led by experienced engineers, provided a detailed sample repository demonstrating best practices for server-side events integration. This proof of concept aimed to help Sensible streamline their backend communication while maintaining the clean, serverless architecture they valued.

The engagement with SnapSoft was concise yet impactful. The sample repository provided by SnapSoft was well-received, showcasing best practices and giving Sensible a clear path for future implementation. Sensible appreciated the expertise and professionalism of the SnapSoft team, noting no significant scheduling or communication issues despite different time zones.

As Sensible continues to grow and move upmarket, the groundwork laid during this engagement will support their ongoing infrastructure development. The collaboration with SnapSoft has equipped Sensible with the knowledge to avoid potential AWS pitfalls and to confidently expand their platform’s capabilities.
