The Web-based Document Validation Client is a cloud-hosted solution developed for CaptureBites 's MetaServer, designed to transition a previously desktop-based application into a modern web platform. This transition leverages the scalability and flexibility of Azure cloud services, enabling the solution to handle increasing user demands and large document volumes efficiently.
Developed with a .NET REST API Translation layer for the backend and a React front-end, this application is engineered to push browser capabilities to their limits. The platform allows users to validate and manage documents directly through their web browser. The React front-end provides a highly interactive user interface, while the .NET REST API handles business logic, file processing, and database operations, ensuring seamless integration between the client and the server.
A key aspect of this project was the optimization for handling large PDF file transfers. Intelligent caching mechanisms and performance optimizations were incorporated to minimize server load and reduce transfer times. This ensures that large documents, which are common in document validation processes, are managed efficiently and reliably. Through caching, previously accessed documents are stored temporarily, enhancing performance by eliminating the need to re-fetch data from the server repeatedly.
The solution also benefits from cloud hosting on Azure, which provides high availability and scalability. The move to the cloud ensures that the platform can handle fluctuations in traffic without degradation in performance. It also allows for better data security and integration with other cloud-based services.
