The challenge
A founder with a validated idea, a startup budget and no technical team needed members to chat safely and instantly, a paywall that could not be bypassed, and thousands of profile photos served affordably, all live within six weeks.
What we built
A decoupled Next.js and TypeScript client on a Laravel REST API with Sanctum and MySQL, where the backend decides every access question. Four subscription tiers sit on top of two roles, chat runs over WebSockets behind Nginx, and images are served from Cloudflare R2. Deployed on a VPS with GitHub Actions.
The outcome
Live in 1.5 months with 8 modules, built end to end by one engineer. Premium limits are enforced server-side across all four tiers, image delivery carries no per-gigabyte cost, and a production-only WebSocket SSL failure was found and fixed at launch.
