The Problem
What Needed Solving
Moment Up needed a high-performance mobile application to help users discover nearby events, parties, and promotions in real time. Their previous prototype crashed under 1,000 concurrent users and suffered from a 4-second location sync delay, destroying the real-time social experience.
Our Engineering & UX Approach
What We Architected
We engineered a scalable cross-platform mobile application using React Native and Expo backed by a Node.js microservices architecture. We built a custom geo-fencing engine that reduced location sync latency to 0.8s, developed a reliable short-video pipeline handling 5,000+ daily uploads, and achieved a 99.9% crash-free rate.
