Technical Audit and Architectural Modernization for an AgriTech Platform

Challenge

The platform contained critical security vulnerabilities, maintainability issues, and lacked quality assurance practices. Key findings included predictable password recovery tokens, an oversized controller containing most business logic, no exception logging or automated testing, and an MVC architecture that could no longer support the application's growth.

Solution

A comprehensive code and architecture review was performed, recommending a migration to a layered architecture based on Domain-Driven Design (DDD). Security improvements included replacing predictable password recovery with OTP authentication and stronger encryption, alongside implementing monitoring, exception logging, and an automated QA strategy.

Impact

The development team implemented the proposed improvements, resulting in a more secure, maintainable, and scalable platform. Today, the system is capable of supporting new features and handling increased user demand with greater reliability and reduced production risk.
