How Anuyat Develops a Minimum Viable Product

A minimum functional product with enhanced iterations is
the main achievement of an MVP approach. For this purpose,
an agile methodology serves as the best fit.

Party time starts for our technical MVP development team. They have a green signal from the wireframing experts, the client(s), and the project manager. And they are all excited to implement the wireframe and prototype, using technologies and varied computer languages, into a functional MVP.

The wireframe is on the table, and the first thing the team does is make notes. We know
it is a traditional working method, but it is still effective. Here are how the
pre-preparations for the MVP development are done at Anuyat.

Notes to the clients

  • Commonly, you might get ideas for new functionalities, while the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is in the development phase.
  • Halt and talk to yourself first about whether the MVP can still go on without adding the newly thought feature in the present version.
  • If the answer to second point is “NO”, convey it to our planning team.
  • They will analyze the requirements and calculate the number of changes needed in the feature's scope, timeline, and cost.

Basic technical components
needed for MVP
development

Developing a Minimum Viable Product is like developing
any other software, mobile app, or website, except for:

Launching the MVPLaunching the MVP

It is developed with minimum required features.

Concise, interactive screens and options.

And an MVP is built in a shorter duration and with minimum feasible cost.

A user sees the MVP as an integrated system, while from a developer’s perspective, it has four
basic components, depending on the scope of the solution:

Frontend icon

Frontend

The visual side of the MVP where users can interact with the system, enter the data and receive the intended information.

Backend icon

Backend

The abstracted platform and technologies, only to be accessed by the developers, to implement the dynamic functionalities and code that is only meant to be used by other dependent systems, within or outside the application.

DevOps icon

DevOps

In simple words, it is the set of practices that integrate the development and operational need of the applications to shorten the duration of an SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle).

Database storage

Database

A repository application where data from the MVP gets saved, retrieved, and processed.

Let’s talk about these components. We will try to restrict the discussion by not
being too technical. If you want to be a little adventurous and need all the technical
information about these components, we will be there for you. Just say it.

Frontend development

The Product Designers have a ready-to-implement design for the front-end application developers. The developers begin developing the interface with the Master layout and the page’s major components like paragraphs, buttons, and image containers by following the top-down approach.

The digital transformation of the idea is well supported by technologies such as Angular, React, Flutter, React-Native. These technologies provide components for building scalable web applications with impressive UI interface designs.

Backend development

Backend refers to the operational part of the application, such as the Javascript that gets executed every time you hover on an image, and it flips over, or the action occurs when you submit a form for enquiry.

The choice of different backend technologies such as NodeJs, Firebase, Python, Dart depends upon the demand of the application. For instance, Node JS is preferred for web applications and website development, whereas Python is best suited for numerical computations and machine learning applications. These are popular and reliable backend platforms for providing services for network-based applications, such as an E-commerce platform, employee account portal, E-learning platform access, and many more such instances.

DevOps

DevOps is a combination component within a Minimum Viable Product development process.

On the one hand, Agile methodology helps efficiently plan and develop the applications; on the other, DevOps extends its support in deploying, delivering, and monitoring the applications with increased speed, accuracy, and reliability attributes.

Under DevOps technologies, you will commonly hear AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Docker, Jenkins, ANSIBLE, Sonarqube, and Firebase.

With the advent of DevOps, application development has reached the next level using collaboration tools and practices to release better and faster software.

  • To concise, DevOps is implemented for:
  • Continuous integration and delivery - automating the merging and deployment of code
  • Git repositories and workflows - automating the version control
  • IT service management - processes and activities to design, create, deliver, and support IT services,
    ranging from laptops, to servers, to business-critical software applications.
  • Incident management -support for unplanned events such as service interruptions or restoration of
    operations, etc.
  • Monitoring and logging - monitoring the changes and updates made into the application that may affect the
    user.

Database Management

Database Management

The scalability of an MVP depends majorly on the type of database being used for capturing, saving, processing, and retrieving the data. A web-based application has expectations of an ever-increasing data load of users. For this purpose, we have on-board experts from the industry to integrate highly scalable and reliable database applications such as MongoDB, Amazon DynamoDB, My SQL, PostgreSQL, Firebase. These web-based tools help in auto-scaling, in-memory caching, backup, and restore functions over the users’ data.

Our MVP development
experience

The development team at Anuyat has faced various kinds of implementation challenges from a dozen business domains. Every industry has its own work ethics, demands, and expectations. For example, the database management of the healthcare sector is of high critical importance and updated regularly. Hence, the MVP needs must be swift in scalability and reliability.

 

We have been working closely with the experts of the industries mentioned above at a micro-level. With this collaboration, we have built high-performing solutions, such as diagnostics & alert systems in healthcare, speech recognition in the education field, inventory management and predictive maintenance in Manufacturing, traffic management for the transport industry, and so on.

This diversification of industrial experience has made Anuyat a well-practiced name in MVP development amongst different nations. And as Albert Einstein said, “Experience is the only source of knowledge,” Anuyat has set its own knowledge standards when designing the MVP solutions, for industries such as Marketing, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Education, Real-estate, Transportation, Retail, Ecommerce, and others.

 

We have already mentioned the distinguishing features of the technologies we use during the development of our clients’ (as well as in-house) MVPs. With the buffet of projects we undertook, we made ourselves well-equipped with the nitty-gritty of these technologies. We would be glad to provide you with a glimpse of some of our most challenging MVP development.
