Introduction
Been was born from a partnership between Coderockr and Achados , with the mission to develop a revolutionary platform for travelers. By combining our technology expertise with Achados in-depth knowledge of destinations and travel, we created a social network that goes beyond a simple itinerary organizer.
Been is a social network for travelers that allows users to share and discover new destinations, organize personalized itineraries, and follow tips and recommendations from friends and fellow travelers.
Challenges
Building Been involved the challenge of creating a robust, user-friendly, and highly scalable solution for users who want a complete and interactive travel experience. It was essential to develop a fluid interface that would meet the expectations of both seasoned travelers and new explorers and that would be accessible on multiple platforms. Additionally, the app required a back-end capable of supporting the steady growth of users and interactions.
Solution
Looking ahead, we built Been using cutting-edge technologies to deliver solid performance and a seamless experience:
- React Native to create a responsive and optimized app for both Android and iOS.
- NestJS (Node.js) on the back-end, providing a modular, fast, and easily scalable structure.
- AWS Lambda for a serverless architecture, offering high availability and cost optimization, automatically scaling as the user base grows.
Results and Impact
Although Been has not yet been officially launched, initial user feedback has been extremely positive. Test users have praised the intuitive and social experience of the platform, making us optimistic about the impact Been will have for travelers seeking a complete and engaging solution for trip planning. Moreover, it has been incredibly rewarding to work with long-time partners, and Been is the result of our strong connection with Achados .
