case studies
DevDiscuss is a developer-focused Q&A platform designed for programmers to ask technical questions, share solutions, and explore trending discussions. The application supports problem posting, voting, tagging, following users, and advanced search to help developers discover relevant discussions quickly. Built with a modern full-stack architecture, the platform focuses on scalability, efficient data querying, and a clean developer-oriented experience.

★Developed a full-stack developer discussion platform that allows users to post programming problems, share solutions, and interact through voting and follows.
★Built the backend using Next.js API routes with TypeScript and Drizzle ORM to create a scalable and type-safe database interaction layer.
★Designed a PostgreSQL database schema to support users, problems, solutions, votes, follows, and tagging systems for structured data management.
★Implemented full-text search using PostgreSQL’s tsvector and GIN indexing to enable fast and relevant problem search across titles and descriptions.
★Developed a trending algorithm that ranks problems based on vote counts, number of solutions, and recency to surface active and engaging discussions.
★Implemented pagination and filtering mechanisms to efficiently load large sets of problems while maintaining fast query performance.
★Built a tagging system that allows users to categorize problems and filter discussions by specific technologies or topics.
★Created a user profile system displaying user statistics, problems asked, solutions provided, and social interactions through a follow system.
★Focused on backend architecture, query optimization, and scalable API design to ensure the platform performs well even as data grows.
