Case Study: Drakontas Scales Mission-Critical Incident Collaboration to 50,000 Users with Uvik Software

Dragon Force: Real-Time Incident Collaboration

Drakontas, a leading provider of command-and-control software for US Federal and State agencies, faced a critical scalability crisis with their flagship DragonForce platform. Their legacy Python 2 architecture had a hard ceiling of 10,000 users, risking system failure during large-scale public safety incidents and putting lives at risk. They partnered with Uvik Software to execute a high-risk migration and scaling initiative.

Uvik Software provided a high-trust 'Mirror Team' of senior engineers to integrate with Drakontas's R&D center. The solution involved a complex Python 2 to 3 migration, developing the product from version 2.6 to 3.5, and significant performance optimization. The work successfully increased the platform's capacity from 10,000 to 50,000 concurrent users, ensuring reliability during mass-deployment emergencies. Uvik's team became a completely self-sufficient extension of the client's own developers.
