TapHome App

TapHome is a smart home app that really puts you in the driver's seat. It's built for people who want to make adjustments on their own without needing a technician. The whole system is open, so it plays nicely with lots of different devices in your house. You can set up your own automations, which they call "Smart Rules," very easily. It can do things like automatically lower the blinds if the sun is too strong, or run a presence simulation when you're away. The app itself is designed to be your single spot for both controlling things and setting them up, which keeps it all neat and simple. And the best part is, it's made to fit into a normal budget for things like blinds or thermostats, so it's a practical and friendly way to make your home smarter.

The Challenge

A consumer platform needed to scale from 10,000 to 500,000+ daily active users without a full rewrite. The existing architecture was hitting database limits and CDN costs were spiralling.

Our Approach

  1. 1

    Profiled the system to isolate the top three bottlenecks causing latency spikes under load

  2. 2

    Introduced edge caching for high-read routes and migrated hot-path queries to read replicas

  3. 3

    Rebuilt the notification system using a queue-based architecture to handle burst traffic

  4. 4

    Shipped incremental releases behind feature flags to validate performance improvements without risk
