Challenges
#1. Implement internal messaging
One of the most complex tasks was the implementation of the internal messaging system. We managed to create a messaging system independent of third parties within the service and acceptable short terms.
#2. A large number of connections
The system requested by the client, its functionality and interactions implied a large number of connections and dependencies. We managed to develop a flexible system of interconnection of various elements within the platform, so that it would be easily expandable and manageable in the future.
