Challenge
Building a production-ready generative AI service that handles real-time image transformations with low latency while maintaining high output quality. The key challenge was designing an architecture that could scale efficiently as API costs and user demand increased.
Solution
Implemented a pipeline architecture with queue-based processing, caching layers for repeated transformations, and a clean API abstraction that allows swapping AI providers seamlessly. Leveraged Vercel's edge functions for optimal latency and server-side rendering for SEO.
