01.Project Overview

A high-throughput custom member management platform built for a growing digital media group. Replaced fragmented Google Sheet workflows and manual email triggers with instant automated onboarding, dynamic role assignment, and direct Stripe billing integration.

02.The Challenge

The client was processing hundreds of new member subscriptions manually every week. Support teams spent over 15 hours a week cross-checking payment receipts on Stripe against internal access permissions, causing delays up to 48 hours for new subscribers to access paid content.

03.The Engineering Solution

We engineered a full-stack automated membership engine using Next.js for the subscriber portal and Fastify + PostgreSQL for real-time webhooks processing. Subscriptions, entitlement provisioning, and immediate single sign-on access happen in under 3 seconds upon checkout completion.

04.Key Measured Results

Reduced member onboarding latency from 24-48 hours down to under 3 seconds.

Eliminated 15+ hours per week of manual data entry for operational staff.

Zero failed webhook events with built-in idempotent queue retries.

Integrated self-serve billing portal reducing support tickets by 70%.

05.Tech Stack & Architecture

Next.js App Router for server-rendered member dashboards with dynamic caching

Fastify microservice for ultra-fast webhook ingestion (<50ms response times)

Prisma ORM with PostgreSQL transaction isolation for strict billing state management

Stripe Customer Portal integration for automated upgrades & cancellations
