Bondlayer Editor

Bondlayer was born to bridge that gap: a platform that provided the visual freedom of design with the complex logic, data schema flexibility, and native performance of hand-coded software.

The Challenge Building a platform that "builds code" presents unique engineering hurdles:

Data Schema Volatility: Users needed to create custom data structures without manual database migrations.

Multi-Platform Parity: A single design had to render perfectly as a responsive web app and a high-performance native mobile app.

Enterprise Localization: Handling complex SEO and multilingual routing for thousands of different domains.

Scaling Infrastructure: Managing shared resources in a multi-tenant cloud environment while ensuring isolation and security.

The Solution (The Tech Stack): Dynamic Data with PostgreSQL & JSONB

Instead of a rigid relational schema, I architected the core engine using PostgreSQL with a JSONB-heavy approach. This allowed us to store complex, user-defined objects while maintaining the ability to perform high-speed relational queries, indexing, and sorting. It provided the "NoSQL" flexibility within a "Relational" safety net.

The Universal Logic Layer (React + React Native)

I developed a proprietary rendering engine that translated visual design metadata into clean React (for Web) and React Native (for iOS/Android). By sharing the core business logic across platforms, we ensured that a change in data filtering or search logic would propagate instantly to both the website and the native mobile app.

Cloud-Native DevOps (AWS)

To support thousands of live applications, I built a resilient infrastructure on AWS. Using Docker, i implemented a tenant isolation strategy that allowed us to scale horizontally. Automated CI/CD pipelines ensured that platform updates could be rolled out to all users without breaking individual custom integrations.

The Impact Over a decade, Bondlayer evolved from a startup experiment into a robust enterprise engine:

Scale: Powered digital solutions for Tier-1 brands like NOS, Super Bock Group, and the European Commission.

Performance: Achieved sub-second load times for data-heavy portals with over 100k+ entries.

Acquired in 2025, following a comprehensive technology transfer and M&A process.

Key Takeaway "Bondlayer taught me that the most powerful abstractions are those that don't hide the complexity, but manage it. It was a masterclass in building for the 'long haul', ensuring that code written in 2014 could still power the modern web of 2025."
