SkillBridge Platform
SkillBridge is a high-performance multi-vendor marketplace designed to handle extreme transaction surges with zero downtime.
Problem Context
Inventory race conditions and database lock contention during surge traffic (50k+ concurrent). Monolithic bottlenecks causing downtime during peak product drops.
The Engineering Solution
Asymmetric Cache-Aside strategy for searches and the Redlock algorithm for distributed sync, ensuring zero inventory double-booking even under millisecond-level contention.
Lessons Learned
"Learning to implement distributed locks revealed the complexity of consensus in distributed systems. I learned to prioritize consistency in transactional modules."
