Rely On Solutions That Grows With Your Business
Internet Applications
Multi Device Multi User Applications
Investments in internet based application solutions far exceeds that of traditional desktop based applications. Users demand universal access to applications. Kripa helps you deliver your solutions to all users on all devices.
Internet Applications are created from a variety of Client Side, Server Side, Database and Infrastructure technologies. Client's needs, future growth plans and budget determines the architecture and the corresponding technology stack.
Client Side Technology
Also known as the front-end technology. Client side applications are what your users see and experience. Selections are numerous and wide but primarily depends on your use case and budget.
Select from:
- A basic documents website intended for reading
- A responsive ReactJS Single Page Application providing traditional desktop experience
- A real-time web application with automatic updates
- A ReactJS visualization application
- React Native application for iOS & Android
- Flutter application for iOS, Android, web and desktop.
- ETL application for data visualization.
Server Side Technology
The server side, also known as back-end is a back bone of your application. It manages all of your security and data with resilience and integrity.
There are many ways to organize and operate back-end services:
- Platforms in different languages (Javascript, Python, Java, Scala, Rust and Go) and
- Different types of connectivity (REST, GraphQL and Asnc Events).
You can choose multiple platforms to accommodate dedicated services - Like NodeJS for most APIs and Python for ML/AI service.
Database Technology
No application can work without a data store technology. There are many options available for data store and much of it depends on how the application's data is structured:
- Simple file system for low volume data
- Relational databases for tabular structures
- Document databases for hierarchical data or documents and
- RDF databases for linked data.
Aside from selecting a data store technology, emphasis should also be on how the data is organized (Schema Normalization, Stored Procedures, Triggers and Indexes) and accessed for optimum performance and future growth.
Infrastructure Technology
Infrastructure keeps all parts of your application working together. Security, availability, reliability and performance are important and required for every application. We use following infrastructure products:
- Traefik - API Gateway & Load Balancer
- Nginx - Web server
- Apache Web Server
- Caching Servers
- Email Servers
- Chat Servers
We also develop and support specialized plugins for infrastructure products to enhance functionality.
Static Websites
Super Fast And Very Efficient

Need a SEO-friendly website? Want to get more site visitors?
Static websites provide your users with an enhanced user experience - Simply because clicking and traversing through your website feels like a walk in the park on a sunny day!
Static Website with GatsbyJS and React
Gatsby.js is an open-source framework that facilitates developing incredibly fast static websites and apps.
A static site has no server-side code, no database, and no services for data. All the content (and data) is generated during the website build time and served to users at a blazing fast speed, leading to the best user experience a modern website can offer.
Besides, Gatsby.js is based on React, one of the most popular components based web development technologies, and this allows developers to reuse components and thus deliver products at the highest speed.
Gatsby also allows integrating Content Management Systems allowing content creators to fully manage their own website content.
Custom app development
Creating faster and more appealing web applications with GatsbyJS.
Kripa provides a future-proof web application development that suits end-user experience and expectations.

Single Page Applications
Desktop Like Functionality In Browser
Single page applications perform much faster than traditional web apps as they execute the logic in the web browser rather than on the server. After the initial page load, the required data alone is sent back and forth instead of the entire HTML. This process reduces the bandwidth, making the pages in web applications load quickly and easily.
User Experience
SPA provides a familiar desktop application-like experience. Fast interactions, aesthetically pleasing user interface, cues and status on how peers are interacting all make it a better overall User experience.
SPA tends to be a larger application compared to normal multiple page applications. However, it's justifiable since after loading the application in the user's browser, it is reused over and over until a change dictates a reload. This is a non-issue for a business doing data-driven processing.
Components
React easily supports building applications a feature at a time.
Components isolate logic and promote reusability.
Development time is reduced as components are reused instead of redeveloped for every application.
Performance
SPA came about primarily to support desktop-like responsive user interactions in browser applications.
SPA can use device's local storage, real time communications to send and receive most up-to-date data, local computing resources for CPU intensive tasks and offline processing to improve user performance.
Quality
React is used by 6.4M+ developers!
It is one of top OSS projects for developing front-end software.
The React eco system has many libraries, tools and add-on packages for use with React software easing the development complexity and speeding up time to market delivery.
Community
React has a large community of OSS developers (1500+) helping to write quality and well tested javascript component code.
The community has developed many Component Libraries, Developer Tools and a large number of related supporting libraries and utility applications to help expedite React development.
What Can You Build?

API Servers
Back-end services
The back bone of your application.
API Servers are the counterpart of your Client Side application. It keeps your data secure and promotes sharing within your organization and trusted partners.
Frameworks
Microservices Ready
There are many options available to organize and operate back-end services:
Frameworks in different languages:
- Javascript - Node.js and Express/FeathersJS. Developers get a productivity boost, as they can do both the fron-tend and back-end work in Javascript
- Python - Asynchronous FastAPI. Allows for fast iteration and supports numerous libraries to choose from creating a solution
- Java - Spring Framework. A proven and well tested enterprise framework.
- Scala - Play Framework. The functional language with types to catche many logical errors at build time instead of run time
Services can load balanced, run in regional cloud providers or on edge computers for optimum service times and availability.
Connectivity
Networked Knowledge Participant
Options for connectivity:
- REST - The industry standard method of connecting to API servers
- GraphQL - Access only the required data
- gRPC - Remote Procedure Calls. Removes the distinction between Client Side and Server Side. Clients invoke a function call using gRPC and it automatically gets routed to appropriate server side target functions

Web Scraping Applications
Gather Market Data And Intelligence
New technologies are the secret to gaining a competitive advantage in the modern business world. Web scraping is one of these emerging technologies that your business can leverage in order to benefit from automatically extracting data from the web.
What Is Web Scraping?
Web scraping automates the process of extracting data from multiple websites. The data appears on the website as an unstructured HTML document and a web scraper transforms this data into useful tabular data for programmatic consumption.
A custom web scraping application is developed to mimic users accessing web pages and extract relevant content for persisting.
The application performs web crawling work at first and then extracts the data into different storage files that you can use to gain a competitive advantage.
In short, the web scraping application pulls data from one or more websites, stores it in your database for easy querying, and creates a knowledge base for your company to use. You can apply the data to make decisions or in any other way you see fit.
Uses of Web Scraping
Web scraping is really just a fancy way to talk about the extraction of useful information from the web. You can monitor prices, check the news for specific mentions, perform market research, and more!
This type of information is used every day to make business decisions, perhaps without even thinking about it.
The real power of web scraping can be transformative for a business. You can use it to be more productive, to make better business decisions, to provide better customer service for your clients, and in a host of other ways that can take your business from ordinary to extraordinary.
Examples of Web Scraping:
Data Aggregation - Consider writing an influencer blog post for a product's sales trend. For this you will require detailed sales and product information for the products from amazon website and product manufacturer's web site. The scraping application will scrape and persist details on a weekly basis so each time a blog reader views the blog they will see details from the latest scraped data.
Lead Generation – Data scraping is ideal for marketing because it can be used to gather and store the contact details of potential future clients. You can scrape this information from companies websites or social sites listing contact information like LinkedIn. A web scraper can collect useful info such as: Website URLs, email addresses, phone numbers and other vital data that can be used for direct marketing.
Market Analysis and Price Comparisons – Web scraping is an easy way to keep track of your competitors, to shop for deals, to compare your process to the current market, or for many other eCommerce solutions. The scraping software can constantly track this information and provide you with a database to compare when making decisions or alert you when a data change occurs.
Minimum Viable Product Applications
Just like the Internet Application, start with a very limited proof of concept application to test the market and then fully invest for a full web application.
Ideal for new concepts or new business strategies.
We have the required special skills for rapid development and deployment.
Got an idea? Let us write a quick prototype to test the markets. Build a Minimum Viable Product from your vision.
What Is MVP Application?
We use a structured process to build your MVP quickly and on budget.
Our experts will streamline your MVP to the most important features. Then, our top talented UX/UI and development teams will design and build your MVP from the ground up for the most desirable user experience.
This allows you to rapidly launch, prove the product’s main assumptions so your business can grow and capitalize on it’s benefits as soon as possible.
Product Scope
The Product Scope phase is an intensive 2 week, structured process.
It all starts with an immersive focus session where you’ll sit down with product experts and ex startup founders to dive into the product vision from a business standpoint. From this point, we will create the required list of user stories for the design of your Minimum Viable Product.
Design Brief
The design brief starts with a product scope - either created by us or provided by you - with all the user stories, UX personas or list of features and stakeholder analysis.
Screens
We start by creating the most important screens for your product. This allows you to see exactly how your product will look and then approve the design.
Once you are happy and approve the Key Screens we extend the design to the remaining screens and deliver the full product UX/UI.
Development, Test & Go Live
After your app is fully designed and approved we start the implementation phase. During this phase we progressively deliver the modules of the app, so you can test during the process.
When the app is fully developed we enter a testing phase during which we're in constant contact to fix major bugs and make sure your MVP is ready to go to market.
Why MVP?
Test new product acceptance:
- Focus on market and attract early-adopter customers
- Validate a product idea and receive user feedback
- Minimize risk and reduce cost
- Improve time to market and iterate and improve the product
