Genussregion Zurich
A culinary festival platform spanning ten months across the Zurich region — built in 10 days with a 4-person team and 160 commits.
Genussregion Zurich 2026 needed a comprehensive platform to showcase events, partners, news, and brand guidelines for a culinary festival featuring hundreds of hosts, producers, and food startups. The critical constraint: the entire platform had to be built and launched within 10 days.
We implemented a modern headless architecture using Next.js 14 with React Server Components, GraphQL for data querying, Cockpit CMS for content management, and Unchained Engine 4.5 on the backend. The architecture enabled parallel feature development across the 4-person team and future scalability.
