Scaling Globally: Building an 8,000-Game Portal with Next.js and AI-Powered Translation

This case study demonstrates practical engineering solutions for managing massive content libraries across multiple languages. By combining Next.js with PostgreSQL, Gemini API, and a custom image optimization pipeline, the team translated and served 8,000 games in 38 languages while maintaining excellent performance metrics. The detailed approach to rate-limiting AI APIs and optimizing image delivery provides valuable lessons for any developer scaling content-heavy applications internationally.
