Marketplace Case Study

Rent.com — Hyperlocal Marketplace

Created a geo-radius services marketplace with contractor availability, booking flows, in-app call-connect and live job matching.

<200ms real-time updates

Project story

The marketplace needed fast search, real-time availability and a communication layer that protected phone numbers. I used RTK Query caching, WebSockets and Redis pub/sub for smooth updates.

Key results

  • Debounced search with RTK Query cache
  • Redis pub/sub for availability
  • Search API reduced from ~1.2s to under 350ms
