One2One Social Platform

Project Overview

One2One is a feature-rich community platform designed to connect people with trusted local businesses through social engagement and recommendations. Users can create public or anonymous posts, comment, bump discussions, save posts, search content, follow business categories, discover nearby businesses, and maintain their own personalized space. The platform also includes detailed business profiles with galleries, contact information, websites, and category-based discovery. A recommendation engine highlights top reviewers and suggested businesses, encouraging community participation. On the administration side, a comprehensive dashboard allows administrators to manage users, business directories, sub-categories, businesses, topics, posts, reviewers, and platform content. The application was built with scalability, performance, and maintainability in mind, leveraging Redis caching, AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and GitHub-based deployments.
