Project Summary

Dreamix debugged and rebuilt the backend of the Twibble web application, migrated its data storage from Elasticsearch to MySQL, and developed new features while providing ongoing support. The fixes resolved recurring crashes and login issues and stabilized the platform. As a result, Twibble's revenue grew approximately fivefold within two years and the site achieved top Google search rankings for target keywords.

Key Challenges

Major recurring crashes and login failures due to using Elasticsearch as a database
Memory issues causing instability
Requirement to rebuild the entire backend to restore functionality

Project Solution

Grew revenue approximately 5x within two years
