Challenge
Building 1000 Farmacie as a scalable pharmacy marketplace similar to 1mg presented several key challenges. Ensuring seamless integration between the mobile applications (Android and iOS) and the Ruby on Rails (RoR) API was critical for real-time data synchronization, including product listings, inventory, and order management from the existing backend system. Maintaining high performance, reliability, and availability across platforms, especially during peak usage, required robust architecture and optimization.
Additionally, implementing secure online payment systems compliant with EU regulations and ensuring data privacy (GDPR compliance) added complexity. Delivering a smooth user experience with intuitive navigation, fast search, and efficient order processing was essential. The project also demanded scalability to support multiple pharmacy vendors and high transaction volumes, while ensuring consistent performance across devices using modern mobile technology stacks.
