Challenge

  • Access surges during disasters require the system to handle spikes while staying low-cost during normal operation.
  • Handling sensitive employee data (location, contact info) demands stringent security baselines.
  • Notification channels (email / SMS / push) must be customizable per client enterprise.

Solution

  • Adopted a serverless Hono + AWS Lambda architecture to absorb disaster spikes via auto-scaling.
  • Configured RDS (PostgreSQL) Multi-AZ with encrypted backups and VPC isolation for confidentiality.
  • Designed pluggable notification handlers (Strategy pattern) swappable per client.
  • Built a Next.js admin dashboard with real-time aggregation cached via SWR.

Technology Decisions

Why Hono instead of Express

Cold-start time is one-third of Express, improving first-request response during disasters. TypeScript-first design provides strong type safety.
