Scaling a SaaS MVP with Next.js, Node.js & MongoDB

The Challenge

An early-stage SaaS startup approached us with an MVP built quickly to validate their idea. While the product gained early traction, the backend struggle with performance under load, and the frontend lacked SEO optimization and scalability.

The Solution

We re-architected the platform using Next.js for the frontend to improve performance and SEO, while the backend was built with Node.js and MongoDB to support flexible data models and rapid iteration. The system was deployed on AWS with CI/CD pipelines to ensure smooth releases.

Key Deliverables:

• SEO-optimized Next.js frontend with server-side rendering.
• Scalable REST APIs built with Node.js.
• MongoDB data modeling optimized for growth.
• Background jobs and caching using Redis.
• Automated testing and monitoring.

The Result

Within 8 weeks, the MVP was transformed into a production-ready SaaS platform capable of supporting thousands of active users. Page load times improved significantly, SEO visibility increased, and the client was able to onboard paying customers with confidence.
