FiestaClic

FiestaClic is a French marketplace that connects customers with cake designers, artisanal pastry chefs, biscuit makers, bakeries and event caterers. The platform lets people find a local professional, browse their creations, get a price estimate, place an order or book a service for any kind of celebration — weddings, birthdays, baby showers, corporate events… — and arrange pickup or delivery. On the other side, it gives 1,500+ professionals a modern back-office to manage their catalogue, availability, conversations and orders.

I work on FiestaClic as a maintainer and fullstack developer: I keep the existing platform healthy and continue building new features end-to-end, from the public marketplace to the pro back-office and the price simulator.

Tech stack

The codebase is organized as a multi-package project:

• src/ — main React application (components, pages, Zustand stores, services, utils).
• server/ — Express.js API (modules + shared middlewares, entry point index.js), including a batch script to generate all invoices.
• functions/ — Firebase Cloud Functions (TypeScript).
• src/functions/ — Genkit-based functions for AI-assisted flows.
• public/ — static assets.

Third-party integrations

A significant part of the work consists in plugging the platform into a wide ecosystem of third-party services and keeping those integrations healthy:

• Shipping — Sendcloud + Mondial Relay — Sendcloud is used as the multi-carrier shipping layer, with Mondial Relay (parcel-shop network) wired in for relay-point delivery: address validation, relay-point selection, label generation and tracking.
• Payments — Stripe — checkout for customer orders, payment methods management, refunds, reminders and invoice flows.
• Affiliation — Stripe Connect — affiliate program for professionals and influencers: onboarding of connected accounts, commission tracking on qualified orders and automated payouts.
• CRM — Pipedrive — synchronization of leads, pros and deals into Pipedrive so the sales team can manage the pipeline from a single tool.
• Maps & geo — Google Maps + Places for address autocomplete, geocoding and proximity search across hundreds of city × category combinations.
• Email — Brevo — transactional emails (orders, account, password, pro notifications) and marketing campaigns.
• Media — Cloudinary — image upload, transformation and CDN delivery for pro catalogues and creations.
• AI — Genkit (Firebase) — AI-assisted flows wired into Firebase Functions.

Product surface

FiestaClic is made of several connected surfaces I contribute to:

• Public marketplace (fiestaclic.com) — homepage, professional listings by category and city, event-themed landing pages (mariage, anniversaire, baby shower, gender reveal, baptême, entreprise…), shop pages with online ordering and messaging.
• Price simulator (simulateur.fiestaclic.com) — interactive estimator that quotes a personalized cake from number of servings, type, flavors, decoration and date.
• FiestaClic Pro — professionals’ back-office to publish their offer, manage their agenda, receive and process orders, and exchange with clients.
• Blog & guides (blog.fiestaclic.com) — SEO content around cake design, recipes and local pastry guides.
• Help center (aide.fiestaclic.com) — documentation for both customers and pros.

My role

As a maintainer & fullstack developer, I cover the full stack on a production marketplace serving real customers and merchants:

• Maintenance — bug triage, regression fixes, security and dependency updates, performance monitoring and tuning across the marketplace, the simulator and the pro back-office.
• Frontend — new pages and features on the public site and the pro dashboard, with a focus on responsive UI, accessibility and SEO of the category / city / event landing pages.
• Backend — APIs, business logic and data modeling for listings, orders, messaging, agendas and payments.
• Search & discovery — filters by city, category and specialty (cake-designer, traiteur, biscuiterie, mariage, anniversaire…), and the underlying indexing that powers them.
• Pro onboarding — sign-up flow tailored for artisans who aren’t necessarily tech-savvy, including their shop, agenda and order pipeline.
• DevOps & releases — deployments, environment management and infrastructure for the marketplace, the simulator subdomain and the help / blog subdomains.

Why it’s interesting

FiestaClic is a real two-sided marketplace with concrete operational constraints: artisans need a simple tool to run their shop, customers need a smooth journey from discovery to order, and the platform has to scale SEO across hundreds of category × city combinations. That mix makes it a great playground for fullstack work — UI, APIs, data, SEO and ops all matter.
