Role
The main requirement was the ability to add new features together with the necessity to maintain 24-hour serviceability. To achieve this a microservice architecture was implemented and TypeScript/Node.js/MongoDB was used as the technology stack. The solution allows scaling high-load systems quickly and easily without affecting the existing elements. Multiple AWS were used as well: EC2 for deployment, S3 for storing user photos, SES for mailing, and Rekognition for filtering unwanted content.
