Building a photo-first marketplace MVP in 16 weeks
Local businesses struggle to get visibility online. Consumers have no easy way to discover local services beyond text-based reviews. Existing platforms (Yelp, Google) are review-focused and hard to navigate.
BizzFolio solves this by creating a photo-first marketplace that highlights visual content—exactly how consumers choose local services today.
A production-ready marketplace MVP built with modern, scalable technology. Every architectural decision was made to support growth from day one.
Go + Echo
Why: High performance, built-in concurrency, strong stdlib. Can handle 100→1M users without refactoring.
React 18 + TypeScript
Why: Large ecosystem, best hiring pool, type safety reduces production bugs by ~30%.
PostgreSQL
Why: Relationships + full-text search + JSONB. Scales to millions of rows without redesign.
AWS + Docker + Terraform
Why: Cloud-agnostic architecture, reproducible infrastructure, cost-effective scaling.
BizzFolio is ready for immediate client launch and beta testing. The architecture supports growth from 100 to 1M+ users without refactoring. The business model is proven (subscription + marketplace fees), and the foundation is ready for investor pitch.

Spent the first 2 weeks on architecture design. Saved weeks later avoiding refactors when requirements changed.
Writing tests while building meant zero bugs in production. Automated testing saved more time than it took to write.
Comprehensive documentation made it easy to onboard new team members and made decisions clear to stakeholders.
Terraform made the entire infrastructure reproducible and shareable. Database migrations were version-controlled.
