Site Sage: Website SEO Analytics & Management
Next.js | TypeScript | FastAPI | Docker | AWS EC2 | Firebase | CI/CD
MY Role and summary
Architected and developed a full-stack web analytics and SEO management platform. Site Sage combines a high-performance Next.js frontend with a robust, containerized backend to provide SEO insights and automated technical audits. The system is designed for scalability, utilizing Docker for consistent deployment and a custom CI/CD pipeline for seamless updates..
KEY CHALLENGES SOLVED
- Production Pipeline Consistency:
Manual deployments were error-prone, leading to "works on local but fails on server" issues and 502 Gateway errors.
Engineered a robust CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions and Docker. This automates the build process, pushes versioned images to the container registry, and ensures the production environment on AWS EC2 matches the local development environment exactly.
- Secure Credential Management in Containers:
The application required sensitive Firebase credentials (serviceAccountKey.json) that could not be committed to the public Git repository, causing authentication failures in production containers.
Architected a secure volume-mounting strategy within the Docker deployment workflow. This dynamically injects the secure key file from the host server into the isolated container at runtime, maintaining strict security compliance without breaking the automation.
- Container Networking & Reverse Proxying:
Securely exposing a containerized Python backend to the public internet while keeping it isolated from direct external access.
Configured a custom Docker Bridge Network to allow internal communication between the API and database services. Set up Nginx as a reverse proxy to handle SSL termination and route public traffic securely to the internal container port.
CORE FEATURES
- Automated SEO Auditing: Developed a backend engine that autonomously crawls pages to detect health issues missing meta tags, broken links, reducing manual audit time by 90%.
- Production-Grade Deployment: Solved deployment complexity by implementing a containerized architecture (Docker) on AWS EC2, managed via GitHub Actions for automated, reliable updates.
- Customizable Reporting: Built a flexible reporting engine for scheduled and on-demand analytics exports, supporting PDF and CSV formats.
- Secure Multi-Tenancy: Implemented a robust role-based access control (RBAC) system using Firebase Authentication, allowing secure management of multiple client domains from a single interface.
- Multi-Site Management: Enabled users to manage multiple domains from a single dashboard, with granular access controls and role-based permissions.

TECHNICAL IMPACT
Designed and developed a full-stack web analytics platform that simplifies SEO management. My primary focus was architecting a scalable Next.js frontend and a containerized FastAPI backend. Beyond feature development, I established a production-grade infrastructure on AWS EC2, implementing automated CI/CD pipelines and Docker orchestration to ensure high availability and secure, reliable deployments.
