Summary of Improvements

Challenges

As the world shifts towards renewable energy sources, battery storage solutions play a vital role in ensuring a stable and efficient energy supply. STABL Energy, a pioneer in the field, has developed a cutting-edge solution for battery storage that is revolutionizing the way energy is stored, managed and used.

In the past, STABL Energy's engineers and customers had to rely on operators to configure battery storage solutions, resulting in delays and inefficiencies. The company recognized the need to enable its engineers and customers to manage battery storage solutions independently, without relying on operators.

Reply & STABL Collaboration

To tackle this issue, a cross-functional team of engineers from Comsysto Reply and STABL Energy joined forces to develop a resource management application. This modern platform enables the creation, updating, and viewing of customer resources, leveraging the power of Next.js and Server Actions. To ensure seamless deployment and management, Vercel and Neon were selected to host the application and Postgres database, respectively. ​The project was initially set up by STABL, but it was still in its early stages. STABL Energy opted for a monolithic architecture to facilitate faster development and end-to-end type safety. End-to-end type safety was achieved through the use of Drizzle ORM to define the database schema and database queries, as well as Zod, a TypeScript-first schema validation library with static type inference. This approach enabled robust data validation across all layers of the application, providing the additional benefit of rapid feedback for users. By leveraging the same validation schemas on both the server and in the browser, users received instant feedback, enhancing their overall experience. The project began with an assessment of the current progress and the definition and prioritization of tasks. With the architecture already decided, the team focused on developing the first features and refining existing behavior. To ensure optimal performance, key database performance metrics weremonitored from the outset, and any issues that arose were promptly addressed. A crucial design consideration was the implementation of shareable links, allowing engineers to easily share their current client-side state with colleagues and customers. By encoding the majority of client-side state into URL query parameters, the sharing of visual configurations, such as sorting states and open dialogs, was facilitated, enabling effortless collaboration and communication among engineers and customers. Another important use case was designing for mobile users, ensuring the platform's availability for engineers on the road through responsive design. This was achieved through the use of Tailwind CSS for styling. To boost development speed, the team leveraged shadcn, a collection of customizable components based on Tailwind CSS, enabling faster and more efficient development of the application's user interface. In conclusion, STABL Energy's management platform for battery storage solutions is a powerful tool in the pursuit of a sustainable future. By unlocking the full potential of energy storage, we can create a more efficient, eco-friendly, and resilient energy system for generations to come.
