01 · Initial problem

Connect invitations and responses

The challenge was to move personal invitations and guest responses from fragmented manual operations into one manageable product workflow.

Before

  • Personal invitations created manually
  • Responses collected across separate channels
  • Different guests require different content
  • Statuses require manual control

After

  • Personal page
  • RSVP
  • Centralized data
  • Administration control
  • Integration workflows

02 · User journeys

Two distinct working contexts

03 · Product layers

Five connected system layers

  1. 01

    Experience

    Personal guest pages and administration workflows.

    • Guest journey
    • RSVP forms
    • Admin workflows
  2. 02

    Application

    Server-side logic, rules, and API contracts.

    • Next.js application
    • API routes
    • Validation
  3. 03

    Data

    Centralized invitation and response state.

    • PostgreSQL
    • SQL migrations
    • Import / export
  4. 04

    Integrations

    Separated external access and communication channels.

    • Telegram
    • VK
    • Discord
  5. 05

    Delivery

    Build pipeline, production runtime, and operational checks.

    • CI/CD
    • VPS
    • Nginx
    • Health checks

01

Personal pages

Each invitation becomes a responsive journey containing information relevant to a specific guest.

02

RSVP

Guest responses are processed on the server and stored centrally so organizers can see the current status.

03

Administration interface

The operational workspace connects invitation, guest, and response management without relying on disconnected spreadsheets.

04

Integrations

Telegram, VK, and Discord support selected confirmation, access, and communication scenarios.

04 · Architecture

One application, separated workflows

The platform is delivered as one Next.js application. App Router connects guest pages, administration workflows, and server routes, while PostgreSQL stores centralized state.

  2. 02Next.js application
  3. 03Server logic and API
  4. 04PostgreSQL
  5. 05External integrations
  • Guest and administration flows are separated in both the interface and server logic.
  • API and server-side handlers validate data, change states, and coordinate persistence.
  • External integrations operate as a separate boundary without exposing internal contracts.

05 · Frontend

Guest-first on mobile, efficient admin on desktop

The guest interface was designed mobile-first, while administration workflows needed to remain efficient on desktop.

  • Next.js, React, and TypeScript for interfaces and application logic.
  • Tailwind CSS for responsive layout and a consistent visual system.
  • Individual invitation pages and RSVP forms.
  • Administration interfaces for operational workflows.
  • Restrained motion without compromising accessibility or content.

06 · Backend and data

Centralized server-side processing

The server handles RSVP, administration operations, and data access. Invitation and response states are stored centrally.

  • Next.js server-side logic and API routes.
  • PostgreSQL and SQL migrations.
  • Server-side validation and state control.
  • Guest and invitation data without publishing real records.
  • Import and export for administration operations.
  • Health and operational checks.

07 · Integrations

External channels without exposing contracts

Integrations support confirmation, access, and auxiliary communication scenarios.

  • Telegram
  • VK
  • Discord

Bot names, callback addresses, application identifiers, tokens, and internal webhook paths are intentionally withheld.

08 · Infrastructure and deployment

From implementation to production

The project was taken beyond implementation to a working production state with controlled deployment and operational checks.

  • VPS and Nginx for application hosting.
  • A process manager for the runtime process.
  • GitHub Actions and CI/CD for controlled deployment.
  • Health checks, diagnostics, and post-launch verification.
  • Recovery procedures prepared without publishing sensitive parameters.

12 · Product interfaces

Product interfaces

Four strong privacy-reviewed frames show the real desktop, mobile, day program, and dress-code surfaces without guest personal data.

04 · Privacy reviewed

Desktop guest experience: the general guide without the personalized hero.
The guest dress-code guide without names, date, location, or invitation parameters.

11 · Public boundaries

What is intentionally not published

The public case intentionally excludes guest personal data, real invitation links, administration records, integration configuration, and parts of the internal infrastructure.

  • Private source code is not published.
  • Uncropped guest and administration screens are excluded; only privacy-reviewed product crops are public.
  • Architecture images were sanitized and reviewed.
  • Selected interfaces may be shown privately with permission.
