Why
A new startup with funding of approximately $100M set out to build the first of its kind crypto exchange. The goal of the exchange was to allow all types of currencies (cash, crypto, brand loyalty points, etc.) to be traded in a single place, giving their customers unheard of flexibility. This startup partnered with Edge R&D to create the infrastructure backbone of their platform.
What
Edge R&D built all the infrastructure for the platform including:
- Server and network infrastructure
- End-to-end platform security
- Platform monitoring and notifications
- Containerization strategy for applications to increase portability and speed to deployment
- Implemented platform orchestration for rapid scaling
Impact
Prior to the platform implementation, there was no way to access information individually or at an aggregate level. Edge R&D enabled near real-time access to data through the solution.
- The customer used this platform as the primary driver for their initial public offering (IPO) in October 2021 valued at $2.1B.
