I built the backend system to deliver fast, accurate, and scalable results. What I Built Backend API (Node.js + Express) for serving name suggestions. Dynamic filtering by origin, gender, syllables, and popularity. Search optimization with indexed queries for fast responses. Cloud deployment on AWS (EC2, Nginx, PM2, Auto Scaling, Load Balancer). Database integration (MongoDB) with a large dataset of names + meanings. Caching layer (Redis) to improve speed for frequent queries. Secure APIs with rate-limiting & JWT auth (for admin management). Outcomes Reduced response times to <200ms for large queries. Scalable architecture handling high concurrent traffic during campaigns. Delivered a reliable user experience with uptime >99.9%.
