Project Highlights

A few of the highlights for the project thus far is that we have managed to call the API on a timely basis, i.e: daily. The next step is to call the API according to the match time to ensure real-life update. Apart from that, we had more than 30 users for UAT and more than 50% of the users from UAT 2 said that they would recommend the application to others.

Technical Complexity

1. Directly calling API timely

Upon calling the API for the first time, early in the project, the team save the output from the API as a JSON object and used the data pulled, locally. However, as the project progressed, we understand that matches are updated regularly and in order to ensure that the application is scalable and flexible, we managed call the API used timely hence, all information regarding the matches are real-time.

2. Switched from RDS to AWS instance cloud hosting

Firstly, the Web Admin deployed in the AWS EC2 instance is not able to connect to the RDS DB due to a configuration error. Initially the team used the free tier from RDS. We tried to solve this however due to time constraints we had to choose the alternative way. Also, as the project progress, and more functions and resources are added, the load time for the application became longer and slowed down the performance of the application. Therefore, we decide to host the DB in the EC2 instance and it made performance for our Web Admin and Web Service much faster.

3. Switched from Volley to OKHttp

Both Volley and OKHttp are libraries for HTTP requests in Android Java development. The team encountered a Volley timeout error during the development and decided to switch to OKHttp. Volley is an asynchronous operation while OKHttp is a synchronous operation.
