Elite Weddings

Premium Wedding Landing Platform — Angular + Node.js

Role: Full-stack engineer
Year: 2026
Status: Live
Stack: Angular · Node.js · PostgreSQL · JWT · TOTP MFA · Docker · k3s
Auth: JWT + TOTP MFA
Deployment: Docker + k3s

Overview

Elite Weddings is a bilingual (EN/KA) wedding-agency platform delivered as a full-stack engagement. The Angular frontend presents packages, destinations and a guided RSVP inquiry wizard, while a dependency-light Node.js backend handles inquiry delivery and an admin surface protected by JWT and TOTP-based MFA. The whole stack is containerized with Docker and deployed on a lightweight k3s cluster, with PostgreSQL-backed content storage.

Problem

A wedding business needed a premium landing platform where the public site felt high-end and the admin side stayed locked down even on a small self-hosted footprint.

What I built

Angular frontend tuned for conversion and clean information hierarchy
Node.js backend with JWT auth and TOTP-based MFA (plus recovery codes) on admin routes
Inquiry capture and content management behind the authenticated surface
Layered abuse protection on the public inquiry endpoint: honeypot, rate limits, daily caps, CAPTCHA
Containerized with Docker, deployed on a k3s cluster for repeatable rollouts

Key decisions

Stack: Angular + Node
Auth: JWT + TOTP MFA
Deployment: Docker + k3s

Angular · Node.js · PostgreSQL · JWT · TOTP MFA · Docker · k3s

Outcome

Live · 2026. Live at elitewe.com.ge. A small-footprint k3s deployment is a great fit when the public site must feel premium but the operational surface needs to stay tiny — the constraint forces tighter API design and cleaner admin boundaries.
