Serverless Backend for a UK Council Tax Appeal Platform

Team track record (prior role) · Backend / Team track record

The backend behind a live UK product that checks whether a home's council tax band looks too high and prepares the review paperwork.

From our team's track record: designed and delivered by our AI lead in a previous role, as part of a product team. This was not a NezT Digital client engagement.

Containerised services on AWS ECS Fargate, SQS for async work, SES for email, DynamoDB for high-throughput records and RDS for transactional integrity.
