Motivation

As fresh gradautes, we want to develop an application to collect wishes from our friends. However, we only had a week before the graduation ceremony which would be the peak hour of this application…

Overview

We are a 3-member team:

• me: Backend and cloud deployment.
• Yongqi Zhang: Design with Figma and project manager.
• Qicong Guo: Frontend developer.

I developed the backend on the stack of Python, MySQL and Serverless and deployed on Tencent Cloud. In total, we had more than 600,000 users in 3 months. During the peak hours, we scaled MySQL clusters out. The total cost was fewer than $50 per month.
