Peak Mojo is an AI powered hiring platform that helps teams evaluate candidates through AI driven scenarios and job simulations. The platform ingests large volumes of real time events and interactions while providing hiring managers with clear and exportable evaluation reports.
The Challenge
Peak Mojo initially built its core system on DynamoDB to move fast and handle event driven workloads at scale. DynamoDB worked well for ingesting event streams user interactions and scenario simulations.
However as hiring managers began asking for structured candidate review reports the limitations became clear.
Simple requirements such as joins reviewer level breakdowns filters across scenarios or exporting data to CSV required complex workarounds and significantly slowed development.
"NoSQL was great for collecting real-time events. But as soon as we needed joins, filters, reviewer breakdowns, or even a CSV export… everything became painful."
Bary Huang - Cofounder of Peak Mojo
The team knew they needed Postgres to support reporting and analytics. But setting up Postgres managing migrations or paying AWS RDS level costs felt too heavy for a fast moving product focused team.
Why InsForge
After comparing several options, InsForge stood out immediately for following reasons:
1. Agent Native
InsForge is built for AI coding agents. As a power user of Claude Code Bary was able to define schemas create tables and migrate data simply by chatting with his agent through the InsForge MCP Server. In under 30 minutes Peak Mojo added a fully functional Postgres replica.
"I used to be afraid of table alterations and database migrations. Now I just describe what I need, and my agent does the rest. It’s kind of magical.
2. Strong Developer Experience
InsForge provides a visual table editor, inline SQL execution, clear logs and production ready SDKs which made it easy to build and iterate quickly.
3. Instant Setup
Projects on InsForge deploy instantly without provisioning servers managing clusters or dealing with RDS setup and pricing.
The Solution
With InsForge Postgres Peak Mojo quickly shipped a full featured reporting systems with:
- Multi reviewer workflows
- Candidate score rollups
- Dynamic filters by scenario role and rubric
- Exportable CSV reports for hiring teams
This unlocked the structured insights hiring teams expect without slowing down product development.
Results
After the successful rollout of reporting on InsForge Bary decided to migrate the primary production database to InsForge as well. Today Peak Mojo runs fully on InsForge.
After migrating to InsForge Peak Mojo expanded its reporting and search capabilities. By storing vector data alongside structured candidate metadata in the same Postgres system search became fast accurate and simple to operate. The team found performance comparable to standalone vector databases without the added complexity or cost.
"It’s rare to find something this flexible and production-ready. InsForge didn’t just give us Postgres, it gave us velocity.
