Knipsr – From Product Build to Launch-Ready SaaS

The Problem

A private event media product needs to feel effortless for a guest tapping a QR code — but every part of that simplicity depends on infrastructure that has to survive spotty mobile connections, large photo and video files, traffic that spikes hard during an event and disappears after, and edge cases a demo never surfaces. The risk isn't writing the upload form. It's what happens when an upload fails halfway, when storage has to hold years of event archives, or when a gallery has to stay fast at scale.

Our Solution

We worked on the production engineering layer beneath Knipsr's guest and host experience: durable background job processing with retries and recovery for media uploads, storage and delivery architecture across Supabase, Postgres, Edge Functions, and Cloudflare Stream, caching and performance work on gallery loading, and access and expiry logic to keep private events private. Deployment ran across Vercel and Railway, with real-world QA and failure-mode testing before the platform carried live event traffic.

The Results

• Built a no-login, QR-based guest upload flow for private event media
• Implemented durable background processing with retry and recovery for large media archives
• Tuned gallery loading and caching for real event-day traffic patterns
• Hardened expiry and private-access flows to protect guest and host privacy
• Stress-tested the platform against real-world failure modes before production use
