Event registration and attendee platform
We rebuilt an event company’s attendee management system as one modern platform with branded registration for every event.
Sector: Events. Platforms: Web, Admin, Email. Client: kept confidential.
The challenge
The organiser ran registrations on an older Angular, Express and MySQL stack that had become hard to change and deploy. Every event needed its own registration experience, its own web address and dependable confirmation emails.
What we built
We replaced the legacy stack with a single Next.js application backed by PostgreSQL and Prisma. Each event now gets its own public registration page and subdomain, and custom domains can be attached to individual events.
Organisers manage attendees from a SaaS-style admin, confirmation emails go out through Amazon SES, and the whole platform ships as one container. We also built the product’s marketing website.
