Project Summary

Cheesecake Labs built a web platform to connect and empower Singularity University's 60 international chapters using a web services/microservices architecture with Python, Django, PostgreSQL and cloud-hosted services. The firm acted as a strategic engineering partner, helped define user stories and priorities, and continued to roll out features while collaborating closely with the client's engineering and business teams. The engagement began in October 2015 and is ongoing.

Key Challenges

  • Centralize and standardize management for 60+ international chapters
  • Provide a directory of chapters, chapter officials, events, and alumni
  • Enable self-service signup, local program administration, and event publishing

Project Deliverables

  • Web-based platform for managing chapters, events, and alumni
  • Microservices-based backend (Python/Django/PostgreSQL)
  • Cloud-hosted integrations and deployment
