// 01 · the challenge
Dinner rush is
a load profile.
BizzDeck needed a backend restaurants could bet their evenings on, highly available, quick to ship, priced like a startup, on a deadline that didn't move.
Traffic that spikes at mealtimes and sleeps at dawn is exactly what serverless is for, if you can do it without cold-start pain or runaway bills.
// 02 · what we built
Built to spike,
priced to sleep.
Serverless by design
Infrastructure that scales with service hours: busy at eight, nearly free at four in the morning.
An API layer that stays quick
Endpoints for menus, orders and sales built for the dinner-rush spike, not the average.
Postgres as the source of truth
Orders, accounts and sales in one reliable relational core: boring on purpose, correct always.
Shipped inside the deadline
Production-ready on the date promised, with headroom for the restaurants still to come.
// 03 · the stack
Boring where it should be.
Proven parts, assembled carefully. Novelty goes into the product, not the plumbing.
