CASE STUDY
Social media for photographers
Combining cloud storage with a social media management platform produced the go-to platform for a community of photographers.
Tech stack/tools we used: Angular, Symfony, WordPress, MySQL, MongoDB, RabbitMQ
Client
Photographer with a vision for the future of the industry
Frustrated by abundant and fragmented photo management tools, this professional photographer wanted to build a unified platform that integrated social media management and photo editing, storage, and sharing.
Problem
Becoming the go-to platform for the whole community of photographers
Competing with platforms such as Pixieset, Smugmug, and social media giants like Instagram, our client's platform had to offer photographers unique functionality: a cloud storage combined with social media management tool, all in intuitive aesthetic user interface.
Solution
Platform that lets photographers concentrate on what they do best
Our solution focused on creating a user-centric platform that combines cloud storage functionality with social media management features. This application enabled photographers to upload, store, and share photos with both existing and potential clients. Photographers were also able to conveniently keep edited photos alongside the originals without creating duplicates or disorganized storage.
Additionally, photographers got to select and upload photos to their portfolio and social media directly from the app. If a photographer's specialty was stock pictures, they could enable purchasing of their digital work through the app.
The MVP of the application was received with excitement by both investors and the first users.
Challenge #1
Ensuring scalability and high performance
With the potential for large volumes of photos and user data, scalability and performance were crucial for the system. We tackled this challenge by designing a scalable architecture that could handle increasing loads without compromising on speed or responsiveness. Through load testing and performance optimization, we fine-tuned the platform to deliver fast, reliable performance even under heavy usage.
Challenge #2
Protecting users' data
Protecting user data and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations presented a critical challenge. To mitigate this risk, we implemented stringent security measures, including data encryption, user authentication protocols, and regular security audits. By prioritizing data security from the ground up, we built a platform that users could trust with their sensitive information.
