Multi-tenant SaaS portals, with augmented reality that runs in the browser.
Base Bros was a startup and SaaS studio that Canberk Akay co-founded and served as CTO of from 2021 to 2024, directing the web architecture across the company's client and product work.
The core of it was a multi-tenant portal platform built on Next.js with server-side rendering — a deliberate choice, since these were commercial products that needed to rank, and server-rendered pages are indexable in a way that client-rendered dashboards are not. Underneath sat a Node.js and Express microservice layer built for high-throughput data transactions, with Redis handling cache logic and PostgreSQL modelled with transaction logging and replication for clustering.
Payments ran through Stripe Checkout, and asset storage through AWS S3.
The most unusual piece was the spatial work. Base Bros shipped browser-based WebXR tools that let people test physical dimensions — furniture in a real room, checked against real space — without installing anything. That thread runs directly into the AR pipelines Canberk Akay later built for Hawk Gaming Chair, and it is where the full-stack side of his work and the 3D side first properly met.
