Case Study: SwissBorg launches a Bitcoin prediction app with SoftwareMill

SwissBorg launches Bitcoin prediction app in 3 months with SoftwareMill

SwissBorg, a Swiss fintech company, faced the challenge of developing the backend for its Community App, a mobile game where users predict Bitcoin price fluctuations. They required a robust system to evaluate user bids against exchange rates and calculate scores, all while building the entire application from scratch. SoftwareMill was engaged to provide senior Scala and DevOps engineering expertise to help overcome these technical hurdles.

SoftwareMill implemented a forecasting module to evaluate bids and a calculation module to score players, alongside an advanced notifications system. Their solution, built using Scala, Akka Streams, and Kubernetes, was delivered on time and resulted in high customer satisfaction. The successful launch of the app allowed it to reach over 14,000 users, providing SwissBorg with a sustainable system and valuable expertise for scaling their engineering team.
