Case Study

Terra Goods Marketplace

An e-commerce platform for sustainable products. Built a custom backend in Go with event-driven architecture. Processes 2,000+ orders daily.

The challenge

Terra Goods needed a marketplace that could handle thousands of SKUs, complex vendor payouts, and carbon-offset calculations at checkout — without breaking the bank on infrastructure.

Our solution

We built a Go-based backend with event-driven architecture (Kafka), PostgreSQL for transactional data, and a React storefront. Carbon offsets are calculated in real-time using a custom API.

Results

• ✓ 2,000+ orders processed daily
• ✓ Sub-200ms API response times
• ✓ 40% lower hosting costs vs. previous setup
• ✓ Zero downtime during Black Friday
