Virtua
A metered storefront for AI ad creative.
The storefront layer of the creative suite. Authenticated brands generate on-brand AI image and video, metered per generation, delivered as private signed media, and billed on a subscription.
The live Virtua site.
Virtua is the part a customer actually logs into. It wraps generative image and video behind a real product: accounts, credits, subscriptions, and private delivery, across fourteen industry presets so a jeweler and a gym get sensible defaults out of the box.
It is the most process-mature system in the suite. The money path is production-grade, and the whole thing was built through a genuine pull-request and continuous-integration workflow rather than one long solo commit.
- Per-brand AI image and video generation across fourteen industry presets.
- Credit metering on every heavy route, with an atomic charge and an automatic refund when a generation fails.
- True multi-tenant isolation: every record is scoped to its owner, and responses will not even confirm that another tenant’s data exists.
- Subscriptions billed through Stripe with idempotent, signature-verified webhooks.
- Private media delivered over signed, hard-to-guess URLs, behind a fetch layer hardened against server-side request forgery.
- A stuck-job reaper recovers hung generations, and updates stream to the browser in real time.
A Node and Express backend runs on MongoDB with websockets for live updates and ffmpeg for media, in front of a dependency-free vanilla-JavaScript frontend. Images and video come from several generative providers behind one interface. It deploys as Docker with health-gated rolling releases, so a bad build never fully takes the service down.
