IoT Smart Home Hub

Overview
Centralized control system for smart home devices with local-first processing. This project represents a significant engineering effort focused on solving specific real-world problems. We prioritized modularity and performance from day one to ensure a scalable architecture.
The Challenge
The primary goal was to handle high concurrent user traffic while maintaining sub-second response times. We faced constraints in terms of legacy API integration and complex data synchronization requirements that needed to be addressed without compromising on system reliability.
The Solution & Architecture
We opted for a micro-frontend architecture using Next.js for its robust routing and server-side rendering capabilities. For the backend, we implemented a distributed system that leverages edge caching and globally distributed databases to minimize latency.
- Implemented advanced state management for real-time updates.
- Automated CI/CD pipelines with comprehensive testing suites.
- Integrated multiple third-party services via secure, rate-limited adapters.
Outcome & Impact
The final product resulted in a 50% increase in operational efficiency and received highly positive feedback for its intuitive interface. The architecture proved to be highly resilient, successfully handling 2x the expected peak load during initial launch phases.
