Overview
Rootstrap has been a trusted partner to Globalization Partners (G-P) since 2018, providing staff augmentation to their billing team to enhance their global employment platform. Our engineers delivered critical systems, optimized performance, and achieved a significant milestone by migrating G-P's legacy Java monolith to a modern, distributed infrastructure, enabling seamless scalability.
The Challenge
G-P needed expert engineers to support their billing team in building and optimizing systems to manage contracts, benefits, and compliance for global talent hiring. Key initiatives included developing a client-level billing system, a resellers platform, and migrating their legacy "Classic" monolith to a new "Nova" system using modern technologies.
Our Solution
Rootstrap provided front-end and back-end engineers who seamlessly integrated with G-P's team, contributing to:
- Implementation of OpenTelemetry for enhanced system monitoring.
- Development of a client-level billing system with invoice generation (Document Generation Service).
- Creation of a resellers platform to expand G-P's market reach.
- Performance optimizations to support business scalability.
- Migration of the Java-based Classic monolith to the Nova system using Node.js, TypeScript, AWS, and distributed infrastructure.
- Leadership in resolving critical P0 and P1 issues with rapid response.
The Result
Since 2018, Rootstrap's engineers have been integral to G-P's success. Our performance optimizations enabled G-P to scale their business, while the migration to the Nova system marked a pivotal milestone in modernizing their infrastructure. G-P praises our team's outstanding value and long-term commitment, with one Rootstrap engineer leading a team to address critical issues efficiently.
