Building a dating and social app that balances spontaneity, scalability, and security is no small feat.

Picture this: It’s midnight, and Sarah stares at her phone, tired of swiping through dating apps that charge $50/month for blurry video calls. She craves real connection—something spontaneous, affordable, and safe. But every app she tries feels transactional, glitchy, or worse… full of bots.

Sarah wasn’t alone. Millions of users like her were trapped in a paradox: they wanted authentic relationships in a digital world, but existing platforms felt greedy, impersonal, or technically broken. Enter mychatClub —a dream to reinvent social connections as human as a coffee shop chat, but scalable enough to host millions of heartbeats.

Here’s what we overcame:

1. Costly Communication Models: Third-party APIs for chat/video calls would drain budgets at scale. How could we keep the app “pay-as-you-go” without sacrificing profitability?

2. Real-Time Reliability: Millions of users expect zero lag during video calls or chats—even during peak hours. Downtime wasn’t an option.

3. Safety & Privacy: Random connections mean risks. How do we protect users without stifling organic interactions?

4. Cross-Platform Consistency: Ensuring identical performance on Android, iOS, and web for features like live video was critical.

5. Scalability Surges: Viral moments or seasonal spikes (e.g., Valentine’s Day) could crash servers if not handled gracefully.
