Music with Mar

Music With Mar is a music education website built to promote lessons, programs, and musical development for students.

The site emphasizes approachability and creativity while clearly outlining available offerings.

• Appealing to both students and parents
• Communicating teaching style effectively
• Encouraging sign-ups through the website

• Monolithic CMS Architecture: Deployed a monolithic CMS with page-caching configurations rather than a headless frontend stack to keep administration simple. The trade-off of slightly higher server processing latency was mitigated using CDN optimizations.
• Database Catalog Indexing: Used relational database-level indexing for simple catalog lookups. Accepted the trade-off of higher memory usage on database nodes to avoid the operational complexity of integrating an external search engine.

• Music lesson and program information
• Instructor background and teaching approach
• Contact and enrollment inquiries
• Friendly, student-focused design

• Deadlock Mitigation: Discovered that database queries during concurrent updates must execute in sequential order using transaction blocks to prevent locking issues.
• Schema Drift Control: Established strict migrations scripts checks to verify database schema consistency across staging and production environments.
