Product

Talker.zone offers voice rooms around the world for discussing any topic. The main engineering challenge was to keep product state, access rules and room discovery separate from real-time audio transport.

What I built

  • Implemented a FastAPI control plane for users, room metadata and access flows.
  • Used LiveKit and WebRTC as the media plane for bidirectional voice communication.
  • Added PostgreSQL-backed persistent rooms instead of keeping the catalog in application code.
  • Configured Nginx/SSL infrastructure and built a test voice-room flow.

Architecture

client → FastAPI control plane → PostgreSQL room state

client ↔ LiveKit/WebRTC media plane

The split lets the application own durable room state while LiveKit owns current participants and media sessions.

Result

  • Produced a working MVP with persistent rooms and a clean control/media boundary.
  • Visit https://talker.zone/ and be among the first to take part in testing.
