How it Works
Architecture Overview
Farmly is built with a hybrid backend model combining Firebase for authentication and real-time features, and MongoDB for core data storage. This setup allows seamless messaging, fast lookups, and scalable data handling.
Real-Time Messaging
From discovery to order—watch a real conversation unfold.
Location-based Features
The app uses Postcodes.io for geolocation, automatically sorting farms by proximity so customers can easily discover nearby producers.
