Travelo is a platform that connects travelers with potential trip companions and local guides. It allows users to find and connect with other like-minded individuals to share travel experiences, explore destinations together, and gain insider knowledge from local experts.
Travelo is designed for adventurous travelers seeking companionship and authentic experiences, as well as local experts eager to share their unique insights and knowledge with curious explorers.
While Google Travel primarily focuses on providing users with tools for planning and booking trips, including flight and hotel searches, itinerary management, and travel recommendations,
Travelo distinguishes itself by fostering community and connection.Travelo connects travelers with potential trip companions and local guides, allowing users to share experiences, explore destinations together, and benefit from the insider knowledge of local experts. This social and experiential approach creates a more personalized and interactive travel experience compared to the primarily informational and transactional nature of Google Travel.
While Travelo connects travelers with potential trip companions and local guides to facilitate shared experiences and provide insider knowledge, fostering a community-oriented and authentic travel experience,Roadtrippers primarily aids users in planning and optimizing road trips by offering detailed itineraries, interactive maps, and information on points of interest, accommodations, and dining options along their routes.
Travelo's technical stack includes a Relay-compliant GraphQL API built with PostgreSQL, Prisma, and Pothos, providing efficient data fetching, type safety, and seamless schema management for a robust and scalable platform.
I use GraphQL a query language for my API, allowing clients to request exactly the data they need. This is crucial for efficient data fetching, especially in a platform like Travelo where users might need specific information about travelers, trips, and guides.
Relay Compliant, I Ensures that my GraphQL API follows the conventions and patterns required by Relay, a JavaScript framework for building data-driven React applications. This compliance means my API supports features like pagination, mutations, and subscriptions in a way that's optimized for performance and usability,
because simply GraphQL without Relay is meaningless.
Both Prisma and Pothos are designed to work seamlessly with TypeScript, providing type safety throughout your application. This reduces runtime errors and makes your codebase easier to maintain.
GraphQL and Relay compliance ensure that clients can fetch exactly the data they need, minimizing over-fetching and under-fetching issues. This is crucial for performance, especially in mobile applications or in regions with limited bandwidth.
PostgreSQL is known for handling large datasets and complex queries efficiently, making it a good fit for a growing platform like Travelo.
Prisma's auto-generated queries and mutations, combined with Pothos's schema builder, significantly speed up development time. Developers can focus more on business logic rather than boilerplate code.
