Scalable Event Booking Backend with Payments & Real-Time Chat I built a scalable backend system for a social event booking platform that enables hosts to create events and guests to discover, join, and interact in real time.
The platform is currently generating over $60K+ in revenue, handling real users, payments, and live interactions.
🚀 Key Features & Contributions:
• Designed a multi-role system (Host & Guest) with secure authentication • Built complete event lifecycle: creation, booking, participation, and reviews • Integrated Stripe for payments, including wallet system for hosts • Implemented payout flow allowing hosts to withdraw earnings • Handled refunds, disputes, and transaction management
💬 Real-Time Communication: • One-to-one chat between users • Event-based chat for participants • Group chat system for social interaction • Media sharing (images, voice notes, events, reminders)
📈 Growth & Engagement Systems: • Followers & following system (social graph) • In-app notifications, email, SMS, and WhatsApp alerts • Event promotion and user engagement features
⚙️ Performance & Scalability: • Optimized backend to handle concurrent users and real-time messaging • Designed scalable architecture for future growth • Ensured secure and reliable payment processing
💡 Result: A production-ready backend powering a live platform with thousands of users and $60K+ revenue, built for scalability, performance, and real-world usage.
