Southeast Asia travel booking platform with flights, hotels, activities, and transfers
BookCabin is a Jakarta-based travel marketplace launched in 2020 that aggregates flights, accommodations, activities, and ground transport in a single booking interface. The tech stack reveals a modern, cloud-native backend (Go, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Kafka) paired with a JavaScript-forward frontend (Next.js, React, TypeScript), deployed across AWS, GCP, and Azure — a multi-cloud hedging strategy uncommon for an 11–50 person startup. Hiring velocity is accelerating, with engineering dominating the headcount and a marketing team focused on paid media and conversion optimization, suggesting the company is past MVP and scaling customer acquisition.
BookCabin operates an online travel agency serving Indonesia, consolidating flight bookings, hotel reservations, activity bookings, and transfer services on a single platform. The company targets leisure and business travelers seeking bundled deals and flexible payment options. Internally, the organization is engineering-led with a nascent data and analytics function, as evidenced by active projects around data-driven reporting and conversion rate testing. Regional expansion beyond Indonesia is planned but not yet live.
Backend: Go, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Kafka, RabbitMQ. Frontend: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Redux, Zustand, Recoil, GraphQL. Infrastructure: AWS, GCP, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Grafana.
