01Overview

Millions of listings. Sub-second search. One backend.

We built the search and listing infrastructure for one of the region's largest property marketplaces — handling millions of active listings with sub-second geo-query performance under peak load, unified across web and native mobile from a single backend.

A listing published once appears everywhere simultaneously — no sync delays, no platform discrepancies.

02The Challenge

National traffic. But search lagged, listings went stale and mobile was an afterthought.

Millions of users were searching for property across the country, but the platform's search engine degraded under load — queries that should resolve in milliseconds were taking seconds, directly impacting conversion.

The mobile experience was a stripped-down version of the desktop site — not a native app — meaning the growing mobile audience had a fundamentally inferior experience. And listing updates weren't reflected in real time, so users were making inquiries on properties that had already moved.

03What We Built

High-concurrency geo-queries. Unified backend. Web and mobile publishing simultaneously.

01
High-Concurrency Geo-Query Engine

Rebuilt the search engine for geo-query performance at national scale — handling millions of concurrent searches with sub-second response times even during peak load.

02
Unified Web + Native Mobile Backend

A single backend serving both the web platform and native mobile apps — so every listing, price change and status update appears on all platforms simultaneously, with no sync lag.

03
Real-Time Listing Infrastructure

Listings publish once and appear everywhere instantly — web, iOS and Android — eliminating the stale-listing problem that was driving user distrust and wasted inquiries.

04
Peak-Load Architecture

Infrastructure designed for the traffic spikes that come with national-scale marketplaces — promotional periods, new launches and search surges handled without degradation.

04Impact

Sub-second search. National scale. One infrastructure, every platform.
