Hybrid B2B/B2C Store | Real-Time Architecture on Edge Infra Most B2B and B2C platforms don't actually share a codebase. They share a repo, and then quietly fork everything that matters... pricing, checkout, auth... because building both audiences into one system properly is hard, and the deadline is not.
I built one that doesn't fork. Same catalog, same cart, same checkout, for both a trade buyer with negotiated pricing and a retail customer paying list price. The confidentiality boundary between them lives at the database layer, enforced by security rules, not hidden behind a conditional in the UI. Wholesale pricing was never something the browser could see and choose not to show... it's something an unapproved account cannot fetch at all.
The part I'm most proud of: both apps are fully static, served straight from the CDN edge, and yet every price, product, and setting an operator changes appears on the live storefront immediately. No rebuild. No redeploy. No cache to invalidate. An admin writes to the database, and the storefront... already listening... just updates.
Solo build: architecture, implementation, security model, and infrastructure, in less than 3 weeks. If you're weighing whether a project like this can be trusted to one engineer, this is the kind of decision-making I bring to it.
