Shadow of Mithila – E-Magazine

A serverless e-magazine platform designed to support thousands of writers with zero ongoing monthly hosting bills.

The Business Goal

The client was a newly launched regional literary circle with rapid growth but zero budget for monthly servers. The goal was to launch a multi-user e-magazine support system—supporting writers similarly to Chaaya Kumari's Author Platform—while keeping recurring server infrastructure costs at absolute zero.

Our Engineering Approach

We implemented a serverless, CDN-cached Next.js App Router application deployed on Vercel's Free Tier. We bypassed recurring compute overheads by caching the entire reader-facing library at Vercel's Edge CDN. Database transactions only trigger during writer submissions or admin updates, allowing the portal to run free forever.

“Running an e-magazine with thousands of active monthly readers used to cost us a fortune in server bills. Webjuncture's serverless edge caching brought our ongoing monthly hosting costs to absolute zero!”
