About Locals

At Locals, we’re building the go-to space for creators to grow, monetise communities, host events, and connect with their biggest fans.

Our stack

The Locals backend is primarily built with Python 3.10, using Django 4, Django REST Framework (DRF), and FastAPI. Our architecture consists of a core monolith that exposes a REST API, complemented by a number of standalone microservices.

Service-to-service communication is handled via HTTP, GCP Pub/Sub, RabbitMQ, or Redis Streams, depending on the use case. We also leverage cloud functions (lambdas) for lightweight, event-driven tasks.

Our primary database is PostgreSQL, and Redis Streams serves as the main message bus. The infrastructure is distributed across Google Cloud Platform (GCP), DigitalOcean, and AWS.

Our approach

We follow Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles, complemented by elements of functional programming. The codebase is organised into bounded contexts, which can be independently managed using feature flags.

We strongly believe that high test coverage leads to greater system stability and fewer bugs. As a result, approximately 87% of our codebase is covered by automated tests.

Our development workflow includes continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). All backend components are deployed and orchestrated using Kubernetes (K8S).
