GospelArk — Christian Music Discovery Platform
A full-stack platform for discovering Christian and Gospel artists, following favorites, exploring music, and receiving artist updates.
Overview
GospelArk connects listeners with Christian and Gospel artists worldwide through searchable artist profiles, discographies, personalized feeds, concert alerts, and integrations with Spotify and YouTube.
The challenge
Create a reliable discovery experience around a growing catalogue of Gospel artists while supporting authentication, personalized engagement, external music data, and artist-managed content.
The solution
Built the platform with Hono and TypeScript, integrated Spotify and YouTube data, and migrated the original Cloudflare D1 and Workers implementation to a maintainable Node.js, MySQL, and Prisma architecture.
Responsibilities
- Built artist discovery, search, filtering, profiles, discographies, and personalized news feeds.
- Integrated Spotify and YouTube APIs for artist metadata, music discovery, streaming content, and audience metrics.
- Implemented authentication, artist following, notifications, profile claiming, artist dashboards, and administration tools.
- Added transactional email workflows with Resend and strengthened authentication and account security.
- Migrated application data and backend services from Cloudflare D1 and Workers to Node.js, MySQL, and Prisma.
Technology stack
Reflection
The project combined third-party music data, user personalization, content management, and a production database migration within one evolving platform.
