Challenges and Decisions
1
Challenge
Managing 300+ endpoints and API calls was difficult. There were duplicate endpoints, inconsistent API calls, and optimistic UI updates and caching were hard to manage with Axios. APIs were often called unnecessarily multiple times.
Decision
Implemented RTK Query with normalized tags to reduce over-fetching and ensure cache consistency. Added proper optimistic UI updates and caching to improve performance.
Impact
Reduced redundant API calls, improved UI responsiveness, and simplified state management for developers.
2
Challenge
Large file uploads (CAD, PDFs, images, excel, etc.) were very slow and sometimes failed due to timeouts or unstable connections.
Decision
Implemented S3 Multipart Upload with pre-signed URLs, client-side chunking, parallel uploads, resumable transfers with checkpoints, and server-side validation. File type/size checks, and UI progress with retry/backoff.
Impact
Uploads became significantly faster and reliable; users can resume interrupted uploads, reducing frustration and support tickets.
3
Challenge
Graphic designers had to manually export and import assets from Illustrator to the design tool, which was time-consuming and error-prone.
Decision
Built a custom Adobe extension for Illustrator and Photoshop, allowing users to upload artwork directly to the platform.
Impact
Eliminated manual steps, reduced errors, and sped up designer workflows by 30%.
4
Challenge
Adding new features was slow due to messy project file and folder organization. The project had 500+ components, making state management difficult for the team.
Decision
Restructured the project into feature-based folders, with each feature containing its own state, components, utils, and API modules.
Impact
Improved developer productivity, made onboarding easier, and simplified maintenance of the codebase.
5
Challenge
The codebase lacked sufficient automated tests, making it risky to deploy changes and adding extra QA overhead.
Decision
Added unit tests covering more than 30% of the components, improving code reliability and maintainability.
Impact
Reduced bugs in production, increased developer confidence, and sped up the release cycle.
