Jesolo Tickets – Booking platform for tickets
Design and implementation of a multi-tenant booking platform for the online sale of bus and ferry tickets in the Jesolo region of northern Italy. Travel agencies and event organizers embed a customizable booking widget on their own websites; travelers check live availability, book multiple passengers and pay online in just a few clicks.
- Real-time booking: Schedules and prices are provided live via the transport providers' APIs; after payment, tickets are automatically delivered as QR-coded PDFs – with no manual issuing required.
- Provider architecture: New providers can be onboarded without code changes; an origin-based multi-tenant model with its own domain and payment configuration for each partner site allows the platform to grow with every customer.
- Clean architecture: Three-layer structure (Handlers → Services → Data Store) with caching – availability queries remain fast and maintainable even with many parallel requests.
Tech-Stack: Go, Echo, PostgreSQL (pgx), Stripe, Web Components, Tailwind CSS, esbuild, Docker, GitLab CI, Hetzner VPS

About the technology
What it covers
Digital archiving preserves records in reliable digital form and keeps them usable over time. It combines capture, classification, metadata, access control, retention and preservation processes. The work may cover scanned documents, born-digital files, email, audiovisual material and structured records.
Where it is used
Companies use digital archives when information must remain searchable, traceable and available beyond the lifetime of an operational system.
- Legal, financial and administrative records
- Engineering, construction and project documentation
- Patient, research and institutional collections
- Contracts, invoices, correspondence and email
- Cultural heritage and audiovisual collections
Ecosystem and tooling
A strong archive connects capture tools, OCR, metadata schemas, taxonomies and storage. Specialists may work with electronic records management, digital preservation platforms, document management systems, content services, object storage and repository standards. They also define APIs, audit trails, search indexes and export formats.
When companies need expertise
Freelance expertise is useful during a repository migration, a paper-to-digital program or a restructuring of retention rules. It can also support acquisitions, system replacements and audits. In Austria, teams may need professionals who can work with local business processes while collaborating remotely with international stakeholders.
What strong professionals deliver
They begin with an inventory of record types, owners, risks and access needs. Then they establish a defensible classification and retention model, map legacy metadata, test migration quality and document operating procedures. Good work balances usability with authenticity, integrity, confidentiality and long-term readability.
How to assess quality
Look for evidence of completed archive migrations, preservation planning and integrations with business systems. Ask how the professional handles duplicates, poor scans, incomplete metadata, permissions and retention exceptions. A dependable specialist explains trade-offs clearly, tests restore and retrieval scenarios, and leaves behind governance documentation that teams can maintain.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about Digital Archiving, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
Digital archiving is used to preserve records, make them searchable and control access throughout their required retention period. It supports documents, email, images, audio, video and structured information while maintaining provenance and auditability.
Digital archiving focuses on long-term preservation, authenticity, retention and controlled disposition. Document management mainly supports active collaboration and daily workflow, although the two systems often need reliable integration.
A strong digital archiving professional often understands records management, information governance, OCR, metadata design and repository standards. Useful adjacent skills include migration planning, API integration, identity management, storage architecture and data protection controls.
The right level of digital archiving experience depends on scope, record sensitivity, source quality and the number of systems involved. A small repository cleanup may need focused delivery skills, while a regulated migration calls for experience in preservation strategy, testing, governance and change management.
Digital archiving can often be delivered remotely when repositories, sample records and secure collaboration tools are available. On-site work may still help with scanning operations, physical records surveys, restricted environments or workshops with Austrian business teams.
Ask how the digital archiving professional approaches discovery, metadata mapping, retention rules, access rights and migration validation. Request examples of deliverables such as a classification plan, migration runbook, test evidence and operating documentation.
A well-designed digital archiving solution makes records findable, authentic, complete and readable for their required lifetime. Quality checks should cover metadata accuracy, chain of custody, permissions, audit trails, preservation formats, recovery testing and documented disposal.
Digital preservation is a core part of digital archiving, but the terms are not identical. Preservation addresses continued usability and integrity over time, while digital archiving also includes appraisal, classification, access, retention governance and controlled disposition.
