Build infrastructure for Directus.io
Our current frontend is built on the Softr.io builder. To scale and manage data, we need our own backend/API gateway based on Directus or you can suggest your solution if you have a better and scalable one.
Stage 1. Basic infrastructure
Deploy Directus on our hosting (VPS/VDS).
Connect and configure the database (PostgreSQL/MySQL) at a basic level.
Stage 2. Step-by-step integrations (via API / Webhooks) The logic should be processed on the Directus side. Tasks will be executed sequentially:
Payment initialization:
Softr➔Directus➔Payment system(for example, generating a request to top up the balance).Processing postbacks:
Payment system➔Directus(hash/security verification) ➔Softr(updating the balance).Sending data to FB:
Softr➔Directus➔Facebook API(for example, sending events or setting up ads).Receiving data from FB:
Facebook(webhooks/statuses) ➔Directus➔Softr

✋ Hello! We are the IT company dZENcode.
We can create a scalable backend/API gateway for this task.
Have you already chosen a payment system for integration?
Do you need a separate data and roles schema in Directus?
We work in iterations, rates starting from 750 UAH/hour.
You can find detailed information about our services and rates on our website:Freelancehunt
… Take a look – we will discuss the details of the work further, write when you are ready.
The final cost is determined only after clarifying the scope and requirements.

164 Hello, Natalia!
I can build a backend/API gateway on Directus with orchestration between Softr, the payment system, and the Facebook API.
Stage 1 (infrastructure):
— Deploying Directus in Docker on your VPS/VDS (Nginx reverse-proxy, TLS, systemd or docker-compose with auto-start).
— PostgreSQL as the main database with a backup policy (pg_dump → S3/local).
— Basic collections (Users, Balances, Transactions, Events) with policies and roles.
… Stage 2 (integrations — everything on Flows/Custom Endpoints Directus):
— Payment initialization: a custom endpoint in Directus creates a transaction and returns payment_url from the payment system; Softr calls it via webhook.
— Handling postbacks: a separate endpoint with signature/hash validation, idempotent balance update, sending updates to Softr.
— Events → Facebook Conversions API: queue on Directus Flow + retry with expo-backoff.
— Receiving webhooks from FB → updating statuses in the database → sync in Softr.
Tech stack that I use daily: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Docker, Nginx, TypeScript. Experience with HMAC signatures for webhooks, queues, and idempotency in processing.
Estimated: Stage 1 — 3–4 days, Stage 2 — iteratively per integration (each 1–3 days). The amount/timeline below is a starting estimate for Stage 1; final — after a 30-minute call with the payment system list and Softr data structure.
Ready to start this week.

2964 14 0 Good day. I can set up Directus on your server, configure the database, and build an API gateway with all the logic handled internally, including payments, validations, webhooks, and synchronization with external services, so that Softr remains just the front end; if needed, I can offer an alternative in the form of a custom backend on Nest with more flexible logic and better scaling control, I suggest discussing the implementation details, pricing, and timelines in private messages.

7391 34 0 Good day, Natalia
I have 10 years of experience in development, working with the tech stack on React Native (+TypeScript), React.js (Next/SSR +TypeScript), backend Node.js (Express/Nest) + MongoDB, Firebase + TS
I am ready to take on the implementation.
Write to discuss the details.
I will be happy to collaborate.
Sincerely, Oleksiy.

284 Good day
My name is Angelina, I represent the company King Kong Lab
I have reviewed the task, we can implement a backend/API gateway for your Softr with the correct architecture for scaling
We have experience working with headless solutions, APIs, webhook logic, and integrations with payment systems and Facebook API
Regarding the approach
we will deploy Directus on your VPS, set up the database and structure
we will build an API gateway that will handle all business logic between Softr and external services
we will implement secure payment processing and postbacks with signature verification
we will set up bidirectional synchronization with Facebook via API and webhooks
… we will make the logic as stable and scalable as possible
We can also offer an alternative on Node.js if greater flexibility and custom logic are needed, but Directus is well-suited for your task as a quick and manageable solution
We are ready to discuss the details and propose the optimal architecture for your case
I look forward to collaborating

169 0 1 Hello! The task is clear: Directus is an excellent choice for integration with Softr, it will provide the necessary flexibility for payments and working with the Facebook API.
I will deploy Directus on your VPS via Docker, set up secure handling of postbacks from the payment system, and organize server-side event transmission to Facebook (CAPI). I will tie all the update logic in Softr to webhooks so that the data synchronizes instantly. I have experience building such systems and will make the architecture scalable.
Which payment system do you plan to use? I am ready to discuss the details and get started.
