WHY ORGANIZATIONS CHOOSE US

Toptal in Action

Discover the cutting-edge benefits our clients enjoy from the global Toptal network.

Toptal full-stack experts clear 6 months of backlogged bugs in 6 weeks.

Challenge: Software defects can cause critical errors and widespread user dissatisfaction for tech brands. A big data software provider was facing a six-month backlog of these defects, reported by its top clients. Its engineers were overwhelmed, trying to simultaneously address incoming reports and product development—reducing productivity and fueling staff turnover.

Solution: In only six weeks, Toptal’s team cleared the six-month backlog while simultaneously processing day-to-day tickets. In a 14-month span, they resolved 266 top-priority product defects and managed countless daily tasks.

Outcome: Toptal’s solution enabled the software provider to improve the end-user experience across all products. Toptal’s experts are now training a dedicated in-house team to transition to a scalable ticket processing system.

Clement [technical lead from Toptal] is doing excellent work, especially with landing the most difficult tickets. He delivers early, proactively seeks out ways to help others, and is a super performer.

A Guide to Performance Testing and Optimization With Python and Django

Donald Knuth said that “premature optimization is the root of all evil.” But there comes a time, usually in mature projects with high loads, when the need to optimize presents itself. In this article, Toptal Freelance Software Engineer Iulian Gulea talks about five common methods to optimize a web project’s code using principles that can be used in Django, as well as in other frameworks and languages. Using these principles, he demonstrates how to reduce the response time of a query from 77 to 3.7 seconds.
