RATTE

The Rattenfest, a local festival in Rapperswil, faced the challenge of replacing its generic
ticketing provider with a solution that offers greater control, lower costs, and improved
usability for its volunteer committee. This project documents the design and implemen-
tation of RATTE, a software suite tailored to these specific needs.

The solution contains a robust microservice backend and three frontend applications:
a web-based Ticket shop for guests, an administrative Dashboard for organizers, and
a mobile Scanner application for entrance staff. Utilizing a modern technology stack
including React, React Native, Golang and Kubernetes, the system was engineered for
reliability, scalability, and ease of maintenance.

The outcome is a usage ready ticketing platform that successfully meets the functional
and non-functional requirements of the festival. It empowers the organization with full
data ownership and full control, proving that custom software can effectively replace
commercial alternatives for smaller, community-driven events.
