challenge
Primitive.io lacked the expertise to build a system that would allow them to collect open-source project information from GitHub to power its Virtual Reality code browser solution. They needed a cost-efficient and highly scalable performance solution that would allow them to minimize the amount of time it would have taken to learn and build a solution.
The project was implemented in just 12 weeks and provided Primitive.io with a scalable, cost-efficient platform that will allow them to continue to expand without having to redevelop their solution. Primitive.io shared that it would have taken three times as long to figure out how to build the solution themselves. By engaging with Sparq, they were able to hire for the specialized expertise they needed, learn how they can do it themselves in the future, and deploy a timely solution.

than building in-house
In order to collect and deliver the data needed in an economical manner, a sophisticated cloud solution was implemented. A cloud-based architecture utilizing various AWS services allowed for scalable performance in an efficient way. To achieve these results, a combination of AWS services were implemented including Lambda, Fargate, S3, DynamoDB, RDS (Postgres), API Gateway, and SQS.
API Gateway, in conjunction with Lambda, was used to provide both REST-based and WebSocket based APIs. The WebSocket APIs provided access to Primitive’s VR client to stream asset data.
The REST API allowed for the scheduling of tasks to use the GitHub API to collect repo information.
SQS was employed to communicate between API requests and other Lambdas to retrieve information from GitHub. Additionally, Fargate tasks were executed based on SQS messages to generate VR asset information from GitHub repos.
Fargate was chosen as these tasks require more computational time than allowed by Lambda.
DynamoDB was used as a simple caching mechanism for the Fargate tasks while Postgres in RDS was used to store information retrieved from the GitHub API.
Primitive.io is a software company that turns the output of software analyses into interactive 3D structures that are displayed in immersive VR.
This allows a team of software developers to see:
Accelerating Growth for Leading Manufacturing Company
Tanis Brush, a leading manufacturer of industrial and abrasive brushes, faced a critical challenge in its quoting processes. Relying on manual methods, the company encountered inefficiencies that threatened to impede its growth targets. Learn how we streamlined these processes for continued growth for our client.
Dairy Business Startup Exceeds Investor and User Expectations with Cross-Platform App
In the dairy supply chain, there are many steps and stakeholders involved: the farmer who owns livestock, the producers who develop dairy products, the retailers who commercialize the products, the consumers who buy them and so on. Even though these roles are all part of the same process, they don’t always communicate or collaborate in an optimal, transparent way. Vyla envisioned a collaborative dashboard software to better connect the production process and players to increase collaboration and improve results, but couldn’t bring that idea to life without an experienced software development partner. Learn how we helped.
Trading Business Grows its Operations Through a Custom Cloud-Based System
TYR is a commodity trading company dedicated to buying, selling and transporting products such as organic food, wood and grains, with operations across North America and Europe. In order to manage the company’s different transactions and keep information centralized, they were using a system that couldn’t keep up with the business’ growth. Plus, it was hard to understand and install. Our client needed a partner to build a custom cloud-based solution for better scalability and improved UX.
Reinvigorated Stock Management System Improves Service Quality for Pharmacy Chain
As the biggest pharmacy chain in Uruguay, our client operates an app where users can buy their goods online and get them delivered. The existing platform was unorganized and caused a lot of canceled and delayed orders, which was translating into a decrease in customer loyalty and damage to their brand image. Learn how we partnered to develop a new platform for better stock management and improved customer satisfaction.
