New Spot
Designing the data foundation behind a complex rental search product.
New Spot is a separated frontend and backend system for ingesting, reconciling, storing, searching, and monitoring rental listing data.
Verified repository architecture
Project context
What the system needed to make clear.
A useful rental search product depends on far more than a listing grid. Source records must be ingested, normalized, reconciled, indexed geographically, connected to accounts, and monitored over time.

The constraint before the interface.
Property data can arrive from different sources with inconsistent identifiers, fields, images, locations, and update behavior.
Search, saved criteria, alerts, and notifications depend on a trustworthy data model and environment-aware backend infrastructure.
Build around the actual requirement.
ACC separated the customer-facing frontend from Python backend services and modeled ingestion, persistence, geospatial search, account state, and notifications as distinct responsibilities.
The current case study presents verified architecture rather than treating the unavailable rental-data response as a successful production experience.
Product walkthrough
How the experience moves from need to useful action.
- 01
Ingest
Source-oriented services bring listing records into a controlled backend process.
- 02
Normalize and reconcile
Records are prepared around consistent fields and identity-aware update behavior.
- 03
Store and search
PostgreSQL and PostGIS support structured persistence and geographic queries.
- 04
Monitor
Accounts, saved searches, alerts, notifications, storage, and migrations support an evolving product.
System logic
The structure behind the visible experience.

Business purpose
What this work is designed to enable.
New Spot demonstrates ACC's ability to reason about the infrastructure, data quality, and backend services a customer-facing product needs before its interface can be dependable.
