Candid Moments
Serverless photo-sharing and moderation for private events
A private event photo-sharing product built around QR uploads, serverless storage, and automated content moderation before guest photos appear in the gallery.
Problem
Event hosts needed a simple way for guests to upload photos without app downloads while keeping private galleries safe before images became visible.
Constraints
- Guest upload flow had to be fast enough for events where users scan a QR code and move on.
- Uploaded media needed to be screened automatically before appearing in the shared gallery.
- The architecture needed to avoid a large always-on backend for bursty event traffic.
- The product needed a maintainable path for event creation, gallery access, and media storage.
Role
Designed and built the product workflow and serverless moderation architecture, including the upload flow, storage pipeline, and safety screening model.
Solution
QR-first event intake
Guests can join an event gallery from a QR code and upload media without installing an app, which keeps the workflow practical during weddings, parties, and corporate events.
Moderation before publication
User uploads are routed through an automated safety check before being exposed in the private gallery, reducing the burden on event hosts.
Serverless media pipeline
The system uses cloud storage and event-driven processing so gallery activity can spike around an event without requiring a heavy permanent backend footprint.
Outcome
The result is a production product that turns scattered event photos into one private gallery while reducing manual review risk through automated moderation. Exact customer metrics are not public, so the proof point is the shipped workflow and architecture.
