The challenge
Non-technical operators needed a reliable admin for course and billing workflows with strict role enforcement — and Stripe payment state that stayed honest through retries, partial failures, and the edge cases that only appear under real usage.
Our approach
We modeled the domain relationally around lessons, categories, and permissioned roles, integrated Stripe with idempotent webhook handling so SQL records and in-app status stayed aligned, and built a WebSocket notification layer so staff see operational changes the moment they happen — no polling, no stale dashboards.
The result
A maintainable ops backbone with cleaner domain ownership: billing that reconciles itself, real-time staff visibility, and a calmer day-to-day for teams running live courses at scale.
