Problems
A few problems we needed to solve:
- Highly scalable user model
- Safety considerations for users
- Time based events and chats
- Discoverability of relevant Linkups
1) Built on MS Azure
Using Microsoft suite of tools, we built and tested the system to scale big. A complicated microservices architecture that includes market-leading tools and services.
2) Safety for users
As well as a safety guide, Linkup only allows registrations by phone numbers, and advises people to connect to socials and upload real images. Locations are hidden until users are accepted to a Linkup.
3) Automated triggering
Linkups are time-based, and using 3rd party systems for controlling things like chat, we built solutions to open, close, and extend group chats and linkup discoverability on the fly.
4) Filters and options
A suite of options are selectable by users, to choose what type of person and Linkup they’re interested in, as well as location and search radius options.
