Project: There's an existing software-as-a-service suite, powered by Artificial Intelligence and Big Data, however, the customer driven development has resulted in a fragmented core product. Therefore, the new CTO wants to have an internal team working on the core platform to design and build new integrations for procurement and supply chain management providers, as well as to separate it from customer specific solutions, thus improving the efficiency and scalability of the core platform.

An initial Team goal is to help the Customer finish the integration of their product with one of their major clients. This includes changes in a number of backend services in Python (Django, FastAPI). The second iteration aims to improve an authentication and authorisation mechanism: use OAuth and OIDC.
