PropTech Cloud MVP Architecture — 10 Weeks to Production

The Challenge

PropTech startup needed production-ready platform in 12 weeks for investor demo. Real-time search, multi-tenancy, and mobile APIs required.

✗12-week deadline for investor demo — no existing codebase
✗50K property listings needing sub-100ms search
✗Multi-tenant architecture for property management companies
✗Real-time notifications for new listings and price changes

Our Solution

Built on GKE with Firebase Auth, Elasticsearch for property search, Firebase Cloud Messaging for real-time notifications, and Terraform for all infrastructure.

Designed multi-tenant API with GKE and Cloud SQL
Deployed Elasticsearch with geo-spatial indexing for map search
Integrated Firebase Auth with custom claims for tenant isolation
Built real-time notification pipeline with Firebase Cloud Messaging
Terraform modules for dev/staging/prod environment parity
