Typical classified marketplaces solve the challenge of varying category schemas by building disjointed tables or rigid layouts. Real estate listings require variables like plot area and bedrooms, whereas automotive listings require odometer readouts and engine types. GCAN resolved this by designing a dynamic attribute model built around PostgreSQL JSONB columns and Next.js dynamic client form maps.
By coupling highly indexable schema-less JSON storage with strict server-side validation, we created a lightning-fast data pipeline that permits infinite category vertical scaling without requiring database migrations.
JSONB Catalogs
Indexes custom attribute sets dynamically directly inside PostgreSQL core storage.
Vercel Edge
Executes dynamic routing and middleware optimizations with minimal request latency.
