Challenge: Scaling ticket resolution, billing and customer monitoring
Alchemy is the largest Web3 development platform with 10+ million end users and $100+ billion on-chain transaction volume. After raising $563M in funding, Alchemy was scaling in hypergrowth and their customer base and support could not keep up:
- Siloed data across multiple datastores and 3rd party apps making ticket resolution slow
- Growing number of unpaid invoices needing action with no dedicated billing team
- Customer usage patterns changing rapidly with no automated reporting
Building these tools would be expensive and require 100s of hours from their engineering team, taking away from their core product roadmap which was already understaffed given their rapid growth.
Solution: Superblocks tools cut support ticket resolution by 50%
Within 2 weeks, Rishub and his engineering team delivered 3 Superblocks tools that immediately cut ticket resolution time and made the organization more data-driven, while enabling rapid iteration of the apps moving forward.
1. User Search App
Enabling their Support team to extract user emails from a support ticket, search them and update key user information such as their role, plan and more.
2. Invoice Management App
Enabling the Finance and Ops teams to easily track and action unpaid invoices across a scaling customer-base.

3. Slack Usage Reporting
Enabling their executives, product managers, engineers and go-to-market team to understand daily usage across their customer base and discuss impact to the business in real-time on Slack.
Why Superblocks
Alchemy chose Superblocks and replaced legacy admin tooling, net-new tooling and Celery tasks in one platform with native Permissions, Audit Logging and Observability. The main 3 reasons they chose Superblocks were:
1. Empowering backend developers to write UIs without React
Since the engineers in charge of the tools were backend developers, Superblocks enabled them to become full stack overnight. They could drag on UIs they needed for invoice management and user search without the learning curve and maintenance overhead of a custom React app.
2. Python support
Alchemy’s engineering team had already written tools in Python so the unique support for Python in Superblocks made it simple to switch while maintaining access to key Python libraries the team was familiar with.
3. Scheduled Jobs
A straight replacement of Celery tasks for existing jobs made it easy to consolidate with the internal apps under one place to centrally control users and security.
Future State
Alchemy continues to scale quickly and consistently, adding new internal tools enabling them to take on the next level of scale across Support and soon other business teams in the company.

Selecting a React Component Library, the Strategic Way
For engineering teams choosing a new UI component library, it’s easy to over-index on visuals and ease of use. It’s only when a library choice begins to create tech debt and extensibility headwinds a few months down the line that teams begin to recognise the enormous challenge of selecting a library that can truly carry their codebase for the long-haul.

Announcing the Superblocks Testing SDK: Build Mission Critical Apps in Low-Code
In an environment where time-to-market is crucial, low-code platforms are game-changers, allowing developers to build full-stack applications with a fraction of the time and effort. Traditionally, low-code platforms have offered limited testing support - resulting in trading development speed for unstable applications and long, tedious manual testing cycles. As a result, developers are often disincentivized to use low-code to build complex applications and mission-critical tooling for their support and ops teams - often resulting in it never being built at all.At Superblocks, we're taking a pro-code approach to the traditional low-code setup by introducing the Superblocks Testing SDK. With this new SDK, you can easily integrate testing into your workflow, letting you confidently build resilient and complex applications. Never worry again about the stability of your mission-critical applications, just write and run tests as you build in the testing frameworks you love. When you're ready to review, just integrate your testing into your CI/CD pipelines to automatically detect regression before you deploy. Now, creating powerful applications that meet the demands of modern businesses is not just possible—it’s a breeze!
