Affinity

Welcome to Affinity! This project is powered by the blazing-fast Axum framework, built using Rust to handle API requests and efficiently communicate with a PostgreSQL database. Our backend is optimized for high performance and scalability, designed to meet the demands of modern applications.

Supports deployment with Kubernetes and Helm for orchestration and rolling updates, achieving 99.9% uptime in a scalable architecture supporting concurrent user interactions and real-time analytics for personalized matching.

The platform leverages an AI-powered chatbot for matchmaking and features various interactive games, such as coding challenges, to match users based on their skill sets. Once matched, users can engage in meaningful conversations, fostering deep intellectual connections.
