Homiam

Project context

Homiam is a home-cooked food marketplace connecting home chefs with local buyers. Cooks create their profile, list their dishes and manage orders; customers discover authentic home-made food nearby and place orders in just a few clicks. Launched in Tunisia with a planned expansion across North African markets, Homiam is built on a full AWS microservices architecture with an optimised Next.js frontend

The challenge

Connecting home cooks and professional chefs with buyers in their neighbourhood is more than a classified ad: dishes, menus and daily leftovers have to be showcased, delivery or pickup managed, and trust built through reviews and profiles

Our approach

We designed and built the platform end to end: an SEO-oriented Next.js website with separate journeys for buyers and cooks, and six independent services for identity, dishes, kitchens, orders, reviews and interactions. Each domain evolves and deploys on its own
