E2EE for LekeeLekee
End to End Encryption, is the ability for content to be only read by two peers. When you send a message in WhatsApp to your friend, the only two people that can read it our your both. Not even WhatsApp can read, as part of our work in building LekeeLekee we need the same technology for the messaging feature. It took a little time, but is now all done. Even if we wanted too we cant read the messages between each other.

Cache within Cache
Wondered how the likes of X and Facebook can output results so quickly while trawling through billions of records. It's done by using a really heavy caching strategy, (it generates the results once and then serves up multiple time). For LekeeLekee this is a key factor in ensuring we have the output at a speed that our users need. While the client doesnt have the billions to have huge engineering teams, they do have us. We have built a caching system running of Redis, which allows for near instant return of results, >10ms at the moment but we will need to keep changing this as more and more records are generated on the fly.

Small Business Support
Not always do we have the biggest and the shiniest on the go. We do have large commitments to some huge infrastructure, and we always want to ensure where possible others can use. We love supporting small business, including a local Pub. What do we do, we simply manage their website hosting, email, and the integration with ResDiary (reservation software). Its not deeply technical and runs of a plesk instance. It works and it runs. Get in touch if you need some hand holding.

AI Workflow
Interesting times we live in especially in our space of Software / Tech. Undoubtedly this is a great tool, however with all tools, the users of them need to know what they are doing. We are constantly exploring ways in which we can ensure we can increase our put and increase our functionality using all the latest tech. Recently we have started looking at how we can use AI inside our project with a simple hook and shell script to automate tasks into a task tracker. The tasks can then be read back by the agent to then carry out the task. All automated. The future to be on we think will be in testing and UI, an area which AI so far is not passing with flying colours.

LekeeLekee Solution Architecture
The Social Media Platform development continues at break neck speed. The foundation for any social media platform is a centralised API (GraphQL), also planning the fundamentals of what services we can use in AWS, today, next week and in the future. We want to keep cost and resources low but the ability to scale unfettered into the future. We are using AWS API Gateway to enable so much of this scale for us, so we can get a proper handling on the routing of requests to and from the platform. Not a small task as those in the know can imagine

Video Archiving
One of our clients has over 450TB of videos or put another way 170,000 videos. They want this to be searchable without having a large expensive Media Asset Management Solution. They came to us to enable this for them. Read the files in from their current cloud storage, download them to a mining rigx with 6 x Nvidia 3070's (GPU). Rip the audio using FFmpeg. Transcribe use Whisper. Upload the transcription to Opensearch. Each GPU is handling a video so we can process 6 at a time. The output processing 3500 videos a day. In fact we had the solution, built and live before other vendors had sent in their quotes.

Social Media Branding
While certainly not our bread and butter, as part of the work to build an African first social media platform. We were asked to develop the brand identity and guidelines. Which we duly did and beat other established agencies in getting the brand work. Every aspect we have come up with is from our own hands. The swinging factor was that we were considerably cheaper in the development of the brand guidelines than any of the competitors so if you want to see them please Subscribe to us above.

Postman Project File
Some of the most satisfying jobs are some of the most boring jobs. We are currently working on an API (which is being used to support a ERP Saas Product). The API is being used as a central point for the web and mobile interface. So the front end developers have a decent interface to test the calls to the API, they need a comprehensive Postman Project. Not only have we designed the API but we have provided the project file that can be imported.
