The Challenge & Context

Verdant Foods was running recurring produce subscriptions across multiple tier-1 cities on a patchwork of standard storefront plugins and manual spreadsheets. Inaccurate postal validation caused 18% of orders to be cancelled post-checkout, and customer retention was dropping due to rigid subscription modification options.

System Architecture & Design

Next.js App Router front-end with server actions, Node.js microservices for recurring billing schedules, PostgreSQL with PostGIS for spatial delivery boundary checks, and Redis for fast cart state hydration.
