Case Study: Surescripts scales design systems and UI consistency with StackBlitz

Scaling Design Systems and Ensuring UI Consistency across Teams with Surescripts

SureScripts, a healthcare data exchange company, was challenged with maintaining UI consistency as it decomposed its monolithic admin console into microservices. With backend engineers significantly outnumbering front-end experts, various teams were building interfaces that were difficult to maintain. This led to broken implementations whenever shared components were updated, pulling developers away from crucial feature work. Senior Enterprise Architect Jake Anstadt sought a solution from StackBlitz to create a more opinionated and self-service framework for UI development.

StackBlitz Enterprise provided a browser-based IDE that ran on SureScripts' own secure infrastructure. This allowed the company to create interactive documentation with working code examples, enabling developers to use and test shared components without a local setup. The solution empowered teams to build UIs quickly and consistently, leading to the rapid development of real-time dashboards for customers. Furthermore, it improved collaboration with a new UX team, who could now create and share prototypes directly in StackBlitz, designing more user-centric workflows and increasing overall development efficiency.
