Docket makes case management software for local governments in the US. Originally founded in 1991, iDocket provides online access to public service and court case information from trial courts, helping to prevent domestic violence and mass shootings. The Texas Office of Court Administration (OCA) selected iDocket’s bid to build a cloud-based unified case management system (UCMS) in 2021. To accomplish this goal, iDocket needed to engage trustworthy, top cloud talent—without breaking the bank.
The Challenge
In 2021, the Texas OCA selected iDocket’s offer to build a statewide, integrated, comprehensive cloud-based UCMS. This system targets counties with populations of 20,000 or less and must be available for all counties to use.
For this cloud-native development project, iDocket went with cloud compute services from AWS, eliminating the burden of maintaining physical infrastructure and hosting workloads in an environment with a 99.9% availability guarantee.
Building the new system requires multiple cloud developers working around the clock. iDocket’s legacy system was written in JSP and Java and can only be deployed on-premises, while the new system is a SaaS platform written in Java and React. Cloud developers are expensive. It’s not uncommon for a junior-level cloud developer to make upwards of $100,000 per year, with freelance developers charging around $100 per hour. As a growing company, iDocket needed to find an affordable solution without compromising on quality
