Client Overview
Alpaqa Studio is a professional data studio and integrated development environment (IDE) for Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB. This platform is designed to simplify the visualization, querying, and modification of data within Cosmos DB. Built with usability and speed in mind, Alpaqa Studio transforms database development and management into an enjoyable experience rather than a tedious task. The platform boasts various features, including a database viewer, document editor (available in JSON, table, and tree modes), database/container management, data visualization, document structure analysis, query performance analysis, task automation (such as copying containers and bulk document editing), import/export functionalities from file and SQL databases, an index analyzer, and a clickable wizard for queries.
Client Needs
System Development
Cloud-Native Solution
Performance Optimization
Usability and Responsiveness of System
Alpaqa Studio needed assistance in developing a cloud-native client for Cosmos DB. The client required Codino to collaborate seamlessly with their in-house team, develop both backend and frontend components for the Cosmos DB cloud client, ensure the produced code is maintainable for long-term scalability and ease of future development, and optimize the code and product for high performance and fast response times.
