The problem
The French-speaking PokeMMO community had no centralized reference database. Information (creatures, items, locations, strategies) was scattered across forums, incomplete wikis and Discord, making search slow and frustrating.
The solution
Web platform with a large structured database (thousands of entries), performant search system (index, filters), fast interface even with high volume, and a model allowing community enrichment with validation. Application cache to keep response times under 200ms even on the heaviest pages.
Tech stack
PHP
MySQL
JavaScript
API REST
The result
Reference site for the French-speaking community, consulted regularly by players. Concrete demonstration of the ability to manage large-scale data with real performance constraints.
