A peer-to-peer marketplace enabling multimedia communication between users on both sides of the transaction.
The platform was designed to support rich interaction—audio, video, messaging—allowing individuals to offer services and connect with each other directly in a secure, transactional environment.
The original implementation of the platform was built using outdated technologies and guided by informal, ad-hoc engineering practices. As a result, the codebase became fragile and extremely difficult to extend. Even minor updates introduced unforeseen side effects, causing regressions and service disruptions.
Feature development slowed to a near halt, while the cost of ownership continued to rise exponentially. The system reached a point where any attempt to evolve or scale it further introduced unacceptable risk. Development quality suffered, operational confidence collapsed, and the platform was effectively paralyzed.
DistCoTech performed a complete architectural overhaul and reimplementation of the application.
The platform was rebuilt from scratch using the Spring framework, laying a robust and maintainable foundation. It was then fully migrated to AWS, with a complete CI/CD pipeline implemented to support continuous delivery with zero-downtime deployments.
To support business goals, we also added AdWords and Facebook tracking integration for performance measurement and conversion optimization.
We integrated a full billing and payment infrastructure, including Stripe, Payment Express PXPay, and Xero. Communication functionality was upgraded with support for VoIP call flows using Asterisk and Twilio.
A modern engineering workflow based on Gitflow was adopted, supporting structured collaboration and reliable version control. Combined with automated CI/CD, this enabled fast, consistent, and stable deployments to AWS with no service interruptions.
The result: a stable, scalable platform ready for iterative development and commercial growth.
