About the project
Archihub is a lightweight SaaS platform designed for architecture firms to better manage their projects, clients, and internal workflows. The goal is to replace fragmented tools and email-heavy processes with a single, structured workspace. The product focuses on clarity and simplicity, allowing teams to track project progress, manage client actions, and organise key documents without unnecessary complexity.
This project is currently ongoing and it’s first version is due to be shipped in Q3 2026.
Backend
The backend is built using Django, with a focus on a clean, scalable multi-tenant architecture. A shared database model is used, where all records are scoped to a firm, allowing for efficient data management while keeping the system simple for an MVP. Core models include users, firms, projects, and related entities such as files, actions, and activity logs.
Beyond the core application logic, the system incorporates Redis as an in-memory data store to support asynchronous and performance-sensitive operations. This is used alongside a task queue (Celery) to handle background jobs such as sending emails, processing file uploads, and running any non-blocking workflows. This keeps the main application responsive and allows heavier tasks to be processed reliably outside of the request-response cycle.
