Rescue of an outgrown first build
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
A rentals marketplace built its first version fast, and launching a second city made search slow, double bookings appear and the database fall over at weekends.
// What we would build
We review the code, data and hosting, fix the faults that cause double bookings first, rebuild search and the slowest parts, add the languages and currencies the next markets need, and run it on hosting sized for weekends.
// What is in it
- A written review of code, data and hosting
- Double bookings fixed first, with tests
- Search and slow pages rebuilt
- Languages and currencies for new markets
- Hosting sized for your busiest weekend
// Stack
- Next.js
- PostgreSQL
- OpenSearch
