About the client

Who NextEvent is

NextEvent is a Swiss-based provider of event management and ticketing software, serving organizers of conferences, festivals, and cultural events. Its solution supports the full event lifecycle—from planning and registration to real-time analytics and post-event reporting—through long-term event management software development built on Swiss event software.

NX is NextEvent’s flagship product, a robust cloud-native event platform designed to handle complex, seat-specific reservations at scale. Developed by a team with deep expertise in online ticketing, NX combines reliability, scalability, and an intuitive user experience.

Through its partnership with Axon Active, NextEvent accelerates product delivery while maintaining high standards of quality and architectural integrity through a dedicated team model and disciplined engineering practices.

How we work together

Structured collaboration across distributed team

Axon Active and NextEvent run a hybrid delivery model with a dedicated development team and two-week delivery cycles aligned with NextEvent’s internal cadence. Morning overlap windows host planning sessions, daily standups, and reviews. The remainder of the day focuses on independent development and asynchronous collaboration.

This team structure ensures continuity, preserves shared context, and minimizes handover overhead. Account-level coordination synchronizes roadmaps, tracks risks, and manages escalations. Combined, these practices maintain high transparency and seamless collaboration.

What We Do

End-to-end event management software development

Our team at Axon Active contributes across the full development lifecycle of the NX platform, from requirements definition and design to implementation, testing, and deployment. As part of our event management software development engagement, we develop backend services using NestJS, manage AWS-based infrastructure using infrastructure as code (IaC), and integrate with the NX event ticketing software, including its seat reservation system and real-time availability features. We focus on maintaining system resilience and data consistency, particularly during high-traffic events and peak registration periods.

Frontend engineering for usability and performance

The team develops responsive and accessible user interfaces using React and Angular, supporting both public-facing event pages and internal tools for organisers. Strong emphasis is placed on usability, performance, and cross-browser compatibility to ensure consistent experiences across devices and user roles. Accessibility and usability are continuously validated during sprint reviews, with feedback loops embedded directly into the development process.

Optimizing data for performance and scale

Data storage and retrieval are critical to NX’s overall performance. Redis is used for low-latency caching of session and availability data, while MariaDB manages structured, transactional data such as bookings, attendee records, and financial information. The team continuously optimizes query performance and refines database models to ensure responsive system behavior under heavy load, providing the high-traffic scalability required for the NX event ticketing software during peak registration periods.

Common questions

How this engagement works

How does event management software development handle high-traffic scenarios during major events?

The platform is designed to handle peak loads, but the team also monitors performance and system behavior closely during high-traffic periods. This includes reviewing logs, adjusting configurations if needed, and ensuring caching and database queries are functioning as expected. Improvements are made incrementally based on observed bottlenecks and past event data.

How are priorities and scope changes managed during a sprint?

Priorities are defined during sprint planning, but some adjustments can happen if requirements change. Minor scope updates are handled within the sprint when feasible, while larger changes are typically deferred to the next cycle. Regular communication with NextEvent stakeholders helps align expectations and minimize disruption.

What level of involvement is required from the client side?

NextEvent remains actively involved in defining priorities, clarifying requirements, and participating in sprint ceremonies. The collaboration works best with regular engagement from product and engineering stakeholders, ensuring decisions can be made quickly and requirements stay clear.

How does the team approach testing and quality assurance?

Testing is integrated into the development process, including automated checks and manual validation where needed. Engineers are responsible for ensuring their changes meet agreed standards before reviewing. QA activities are part of the sprint cycle rather than a separate phase, helping identify issues earlier.

How is the Vietnam team integrated with NextEvent's engineering workflow?

The Axon Active engineers are embedded directly into NextEvent’s delivery processes. They use the same Jira instance, attend the same ceremonies, and adhere to the same definition of done. There’s no “separate offshoring” — the team is fully part of NextEvent’s engineering org, operating as an extension rather than an outsourced vendor.
