The Smittestopp backend comprises various components for user and device registration, mobile app data ingestion, database and cloud operations, and web interface support. This chapter describes our journey from a vague idea to a deployed system. We provide an overview of the system internals and design iterations and discuss the challenges that we faced during the development process, along with the lessons learned. The Smittestopp backend handled around 1.5 million registered devices and provided various insights and analyses before being discontinued a few months after its launch.}, year = {2022}, journal = {Smittestopp - A Case Study on Digital Contact Tracing}, volume = {11}, pages = {29 - 62}, month = {06/2022}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing}, address = {Cham}, issn = {2512-1677}, isbn = {978-3-031-05465-5}, url = {https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/978-3-031-05466-2.pdf}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-05466-2_3}, editor = {Ahmed Elmokashfi and Olav Lysne and Valeriya Naumova}, }
