Inspiration
Building a better car comparison website than Check24!
What it does
- search and maintain a large database of vehicle offers
- also process incoming offer updates from the car sharing providers
How we built it
- first approach was to build it using typescript + postgres, but we got stuck with complicated sql errors
- decided to make a new implementation from scratch using C++
Challenges we ran into
- sql debugging without an ORM is difficult
- debugging sql functions is even harder
- you can easily get lost in debugging challenges without making progress towards a better score in the challenge
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- implemented a working REST API in C++
What we learned
At first glance, things often seem easier to implement than they turn out to be in retrospect
What's next for Check42
Beat our old rival Check24 in the search comparison market!
