Travel product managers to choose particular product suppliers depending on the type of a user search.
05
This way, the OTA managers can search the deals from suppliers that they partner with.
06
Every day the platform deals with numerous search and booking requests and has to process data coming from GDSs. This can result in overloading and service unavailability. To ensure zero downtime, our team has chosen a microservice approach to the architecture, making all microservices stateless. Also, engineers have created an industry-standard logging solution, based on AWS and S3. As an orchestration gateway, the engineers employed Kong API. For communication between microservices, they used NATS system, AWS EKS, and Kubernetes as an environment.
