ROLE Full Stack Development

Challenge

Nightlife goers often struggle to know which venues are lively right now and where friends are tonight without long debates. Existing review sites offer static data, but lack real-time 'vibe' indicators. The technical challenge was to aggregate and serve live crowd density data and user check-ins instantly to thousands of concurrent users during peak weekend hours.

Solution

A real-time social platform that aggregates user check-ins and anonymous density data to show a 'heat map' of nightlife activity. Built on a serverless architecture to scale automatically during Friday and Saturday nights. Uses WebSockets to push live updates to the client so users always see the current state of venues.

Key Features

  • Real-time venue occupancy indicators when treshold met
  • Social check-ins and status sharing between friends
  • Scalable serverless backend
  • Interactive map of local nightlife spots
  • Privacy-focused anonymous data handling, all check-in data deleted each morning
  • easy sign-up with social accounts
