Inspiration:
Marketing teams drown in fragmented data — Google Ads in one tab, Meta in another, email in a spreadsheet, organic in yet another dashboard. I wanted to build a tool that kills that pain : one unified view and one AI YOU can just ask.
What it does :
Nexlytic pulls every marketing channel into one single normalized schema powered by amazon aurora dsql . real time dashboard shows the revenue , spend , ROAS and conversions side by side. And an AI layer let's you ask questions in plain english and get answers grounded in your live data and not generic guesses.
How I built it :
I used next.js with the pages router for both the font end and API layer, the database is amazon aurora dsql (serverless PostgreSQL-compatible) with IAM token-based authentication — no stored passwords. Styling is fully custom CSS with a dark theme and lime green accent system. and it was all built within 10days with a lot of trial and error
Challenges I ran into:
Getting the design and styling to match my vision was a constant battle ,I iterated through multiple approaches to achieve the dark premium aesthetic with the right balance of contrast, spacing, and micro-interactions.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of :
I was able to build a fully functional demo before the deadline — solo, from zero to a working product with live database, AI integration, and polished UI. I'm also proud that the AI feature actually queries real data rather than returning canned responses , it reasons over live Aurora DSQL rows, which means every answer is grounded in truth.
What I learned :
I learned how to wire up Aurora DSQL with IAM-based auth tokens in a serverless context something with very little documentation out there. I also deepened my understanding of building premium UI without relying on component libraries, EVERY animation , hover state , transition was handcrafted and i am proud of it
What's next for Nexlytic
Multi-tenant onboarding so teams can connect their own ad accounts via OAuth. Real-time anomaly alerts pushed to Slack/email when a channel's metrics deviate. A multi-touch attribution engine that shows the true customer journey across channels. And a mobile companion app so marketing leads can check performance on the go.
