Visma Online

… its popularity: first release was September, 2006 - now it's active on four markets (Sweden, Norway, Finland and the Netherlands). It joins 40 different services, serving 420 000 registered customers, 1 600 000 user accounts with around 300 000 logins during a working day.

… its variability and stability: Visma Online itself is a long living project, which gives stability and income. However, it doesn't mean it's too old school, since there are many side-projects and we are also modernizing Visma Online itself (like hosting in Azure Cloud managed services). So there is always a field for R&D and introducing new things - as cloud-oriented technologies (Azure Cloud), serverless solutions (Azure Functions), .NET Core/6 or modern front-end frameworks like Angular SPA, developed using TypeScript.
… its strategic role: Visma Online is a vital part of other important Visma's product like eAccounting, Advisor, Visma Webshop and others. If these products are going good - Visma Online is also going well.

...its overall code quality: we share and maintain coding/naming conventions using ReSharper/Rider. In addition to it other more specialized static analysis tools are used - like Coverity, Snyk. There is what to improve, but we always develop with tests coverage in mind - tests are written using xUnit/NUnit/MSTest, then executed on every commit within TeamCity build.

…its emphasis on automation: To automate everything into one continuous delivery/deployment pipeline - is one of our main goals. Push changes, build and execute unit tests, deploy to stage environment, execute automation tests, promote to production environment, check if everything works, generate release notes with latest changes - and everything is just with 2-3 clicks (with help from TeamCity and Octopus Deploy).
