Travel OS MVP Development

Agwa Travel OS — MVP Development (Architecture‑First Build)
Agwa Travel OS is a unified travel platform built on a modern, cloud‑ready stack: Node.js + NestJS services, React/Next.js front end, PostgreSQL, Redis, and ElasticSearch running on AWS. The technical architecture, module boundaries, API contracts, and phased milestone plan are already fully documented. What I need now is a disciplined, architecture‑first development team that can execute cleanly and stay with the product long term.

Scope of the MVP
The first release focuses on delivering the complete core travel flow across multiple verticals:

1. Search → Book → Pay
Users must be able to:

Search flights, hotels, cars, and experiences

View real‑time availability and pricing

Complete booking and checkout using Stripe

Receive immediate confirmation

This is the primary revenue engine and must be stable, fast, and well‑tested.

2. Unified Itinerary
After booking, users should instantly see:

A consolidated trip itinerary

Confirmation details

Downloadable documents

Email notifications

3. Accounts & Admin Oversight
The MVP includes:

User account creation and login

Past bookings and traveler profiles

Admin console for viewing bookings, users, logs, and basic configuration

These three areas—Search/Book/Pay, Itinerary, and Accounts/Admin—will receive the closest scrutiny. Code quality, test coverage, and strict separation of concerns are essential.

Milestones & Delivery Process
Milestones are already defined with:

Clear acceptance criteria

Deployment checkpoints

API contracts

Architecture diagrams

A staging environment ready on AWS

You will receive full access to the architecture deck and repos at project start.

Required Deliverables
Fully functional MVP deployed to the designated AWS environment

Clean, well‑structured source code in my Git repository

Unit and integration tests across all core modules

CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred) connected to staging and production

Short technical handoff documentation + walkthrough at the end of each milestone

Team Expectations
Your team should be comfortable owning components end‑to‑end, including:

Backend services (NestJS)

Frontend (React/Next.js)

Database and caching layers

ElasticSearch integration

AWS deployment and environment setup

Code reviews and planning sessions

Occasional architecture refinement aligned with the existing design

If your team works well with architecture‑driven development, milestone‑based delivery, and long‑term product evolution, let’s discuss timelines and next steps.
