Scaling a Transactional Engine to 65k CCU During Black Friday

PRE-INTERVENTION STATE (Bottleneck):

The system threw HTTP 504 Gateway Timeouts at 12k concurrent users. Severe PostgreSQL lock contention and synchronous processing bottlenecked flash-sale events.

SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE:

Deployed an Event-Driven architecture on RabbitMQ with asynchronous order confirmation, distributed Redis Cluster cache with key sharding, and high-performance PHP runtime via RoadRunner.

TECHNICAL DUE DILIGENCE & FAQ

Answers to critical engineering questions.

Transparent collaboration, zero corporate fluff. Learn how we address the most common architectural concerns of executive boards and engineering leaders.

We categorically advise against "let's rewrite everything from scratch" — in 90% of cases, it exceeds budgets and paralyzes the business. We use the battle-tested Strangler Fig pattern combined with Traefik Reverse Proxy and Vertical Slice Architecture. We isolate and carve out individual domains step-by-step. Your e-commerce or B2B application continues selling and generating revenue with 100% operational uptime throughout the entire transformation.
