Case Study
Automation and Visualization of Astronomical Calculations
Client's Task: “To automate complex astronomical calculations that were previously done manually, and to present the results in an intuitive and visually impressive way for end users.”
Our Solution
We developed a high-precision computational engine capable of performing complex astronomical calculations in real time. To ensure maximum accuracy and performance, advanced mathematical methods were applied, including tensor calculus. The results are visually represented through an interactive 3D model of the celestial sphere, which users can rotate and explore from any angle.
Results Achieved
- A ready-to-use product consisting of a scalable backend (computation engine) and an interactive frontend (user interface).
- High performance and reliability: Thanks to a microservice architecture and well-tuned DevOps processes, the system consistently handles 15,000 requests per day.
- Data security: Multi-layer protection is implemented at every stage — from data transmission (TLS 1.3, Cloudflare) to storage (isolated containers, 2FA).
- Cross-platform experience: The application runs seamlessly on all devices — from desktops to smartphones.
Technology Stack
The project was built with a full stack of modern technologies.
- A Python/Django REST Framework backend provides robust business logic and a secure API.
- The React + TypeScript frontend delivers a dynamic and responsive interface.
- Key features, such as interactive 3D visualization, are powered by the Plotly library.
- All infrastructure is containerized with Docker and deployed following strict security principles (rootless mode). Nginx serves as a load balancer and reverse proxy, while Cloudflare provides DDoS protection and global caching. Custom scripts were developed for automated deployment and maintenance.
