Case Study - Building a High-Speed Aggregator

Overview

Pixelobster is a minimalist website offering curated graphic content to designers, including resources like fonts, mockups, and templates. While the site aggregates product information and imagery, it does not store the actual assets. Instead, users are redirected to the source websites for downloads. What sets Pixelobster apart is its multilingual approach: the platform is available in over 20 languages, making it accessible to creatives worldwide.

To support this unique model, we developed a high-speed platform backed by an async PHP framework capable of handling up to 500,000 impressions per second. This ensured unparalleled performance, even under heavy traffic. The backend is powered by a customized version of Directus, giving administrators complete flexibility, while all product data collection, descriptions, and translations are fully automated through integrations with OpenAI, DeepL, AWS, and Google APIs. From mining data across the internet to generating multilingual product descriptions, the entire content pipeline is seamless and efficient.

On top of the development work, we also designed a fresh, minimalist logo that perfectly complements the sleek aesthetic of the platform. The frontend was brought to life using Tailwindcss, ensuring that the user interface is clean, responsive, and consistent across all devices.

Pixelobster's combination of stunning performance, automation, and minimalist design allows it to act as the go-to aggregator of graphic resources for designers worldwide.
