Context

Election night is the biggest traffic peak on a portal's calendar, with data changing every few seconds and zero tolerance for a wrong number or a page going down.

Intervention

A real-time results platform with multi-affiliate embeddable widgets — each brand in the group consumes the same data core with its own identity. A Next.js frontend with a serverless backend to absorb the peak without provisioning idle infrastructure all year round.

The collection shows the evolution: React/Vite in 2022, Next.js 14 + TypeScript in 2024 with three sibling frontends (main portal, Estado de Minas, Rádio Tupi) totaling more than 770 commits in the cycle, and the 2026 cycle already underway.

Outcome

Four election cycles covered (2020, 2022, 2024, 2026), with the results architecture documented and reused across cycles instead of rebuilt.

Role

Technical leadership and development, with a team.
