// About the Project
Project Overview
Tax1099 is an IRS-approved eFile provider for informational returns. It is a blend of tax knowledge and technology to provide superior compliance tools, targeting small businesses, accountants, bookkeepers, CPA firms, and corporations.
The original legacy system supported only 2,000 real-time users. UppLabs optimized performance by transitioning from monolithic architecture to microservices.
UppLabs proposed two optimization approaches: complete rewrite to microservices (12+ months, 5+ developers), or a single high-impact microservice implementation (2 months, 2 developers). The client selected option two for immediate results — and it worked.
