About VitaalBank
Located in the heart of the Netherlands is VitaalBank, a Dutch startup on a mission to give citizens complete control over their healthcare data. In 2019, VitaalBank started to lay the foundations of its platform — a hub for personal healthcare data that enables citizens to control which data is collected, where it's stored and whom it's shared with.
Vitaalbank sought a way to offer its users and employees more transparency and autonomy without compromising security. By updating its technology and introducing its teams to DevOps, Xebia has given this thriving Dutch data startup exactly what it was looking for.
VitaalBank aims to offer its users and employees more transparency without compromising security.
Why
Xebia helped implement DevOps into Vitaalbank's organization.
What
Front-end revisions, DevOps practices, and Cloud-Native Software Development.
How
Elevating the User and Developer Experience
VitaalBank's request was threefold. First, the company wished to provide users with real-time visibility into their healthcare data, where it is stored and with whom it is shared, to ensure maximum transparency. Second, it wanted a secure and intuitive identity management system that was fast and to the point. Third, it wanted to give developers more autonomy per lifecycle value stream, while staying secure and compliant.
The startup previously enjoyed working with Xebia on designing the platform. So, when looking for a partner to help with this particular set of requests, Xebia was the obvious choice.
Four Focus Areas
The collaboration between VitaalBank and Xebia focused on the following four areas:
- Front-end revisions, including an Atomic Design System, Cypress visual component testing, Storybook for working closely with UX designers, and a migration from Angular to VueJS aimed to expedite the rollout of new features, enhance the website's performance, and support ongoing innovation.
- To improve the security and transparency of the platform, Xebia delivered a solution based on microservices with a distributed architecture.
- Xebia helped VitaalBank work in a DevOps manner with zero data security concerns.
- By getting Cloud-Native Software Development right, Xebia's team aimed to help VitaalBank release more frequently, accelerate its time-to-market and increase scalability and flexibility.
