Case Study: Unilever powers Vink’s rapid growth with Developyn’s cloud infrastructure and backend architecture

Unilever scales Vink to 50,000+ users in months with Developyn

The customer Unilever launched a digital spin-out called Vink and faced the challenge of building a scalable and reliable platform to power its shopping list app. They needed to handle high volumes of data and users, support real-time collaboration, and ensure seamless integration with a React Native frontend. To achieve this, they partnered with the vendor Developyn for cloud infrastructure and backend development services.

Developyn designed and implemented a serverless AWS backend architecture for Vink, which included user authentication, a search engine, and a notification system. They also provided an on-site developer for close collaboration. The solution successfully supported the rapid growth of the app, which acquired over 50,000 users and was later acquired for a significant sum, validating its success.
