Pokéos - Technical Deep Dive

Architecture Overview

A sophisticated microservices architecture powering Europe's largest Pokémon wiki platform. The system handles over 30 million monthly pageviews with high availability and performance.

Key Technical Achievements

  • Implemented 6 specialized microservices for different platform aspects
  • Developed 4 distinct frontend applications using React and Vite
  • Designed scalable database architecture with MySQL and Redis caching
  • Deployed on Kubernetes with auto-scaling capabilities
  • Built cross-platform mobile experience using Capacitor

Performance Optimization

Advanced caching strategies and optimized database queries ensure sub-second response times even under heavy load. The platform maintains 99.9% uptime through distributed architecture and auto-scaling capabilities.

Gained a 700% performance boost by implementing a microservices architecture, optimizing the database queries and switching from a monolithic php codebase to a modern tech stack.
