Challenges We Know Well
Gigpay had experienced instability, missed deadlines, and performance issues from previous development partners. The product needed to be completely restructured to support a global audience of freelancers and gig workers.
Platform instability from failed dev cycles
Gigpay's core product was hampered by instability, missed deadlines, and performance issues left behind by previous development partners.
Need for a scalable backend architecture
Implementing a modular architecture with clear documentation and optimized testing pipelines to handle higher transaction volumes reliably.
International payment integrations
Building offramp integrations for key global markets — Mexico, South Korea, and India — each with local compliance and banking system requirements.
Accelerating delivery without downtime
Rebuilding the product foundation while keeping operations running, delivering high-quality code rapidly without interrupting active payments.
Our Approach
Luby's engagement was structured in three strategic phases — ensuring both short-term platform recovery and long-term international scalability.
Phase 1
Transition & Stabilization
Comprehensive audit of Gigpay's architecture and codebase. We identified and corrected performance bottlenecks, database issues, and deployment failures — restoring a fully functional, reliable environment.
Phase 2
Backend Strengthening
Senior fintech engineers specialized in APIs and payments infrastructure reinforced the backend with a modular architecture, optimized testing pipelines, and CI/CD for faster, safer releases.
Phase 3
Global Offramps
Offramp integrations enabling payments in Mexico, South Korea, and India — each compliant with local regulations and banking systems for secure, global operations.
Measurable Impact
Gigpay went from platform instability to global scale — with a recovered architecture, strengthened backend, and active presence in three new markets.
