Case Study: Smartrr scales QA and development capacity with ELITEX

Smartrr builds QA from scratch and scales 5x in under a year with Elitex

Smartrr, a New York-based subscription management platform for Shopify brands, faced significant growing pains as a six-month-old startup. Their platform lacked any quality assurance process and their existing monolithic architecture was hitting performance and security limits. They partnered with ELITEX to build a QA function from scratch and later to augment their development and DevOps capacity to support their rapid growth.

ELITEX began by providing two QA engineers to build a testing process from the ground up, which grew into a dedicated nine-person team covering QA, DevOps, and full-stack development. Their solution involved splitting the monolith into two services, migrating messaging to improve stability, and implementing centralized logging. As a result, Smartrr experienced a 5x company growth in under a year and now delivers biweekly releases with rare unknown bugs, thanks to the team built by ELITEX.
