High Traffic Ticketing System Design

1. High-Level Architecture Overview

- Clients: Users access the service via mobile apps, web browsers, etc.

- Load Balancer: Distributes incoming requests across multiple instances of services.

- Microservices: The backend is split into small, independent services (e.g., Authentication, Event

Catalog, Ticket Inventory, Payments).

- Database: Multiple databases with sharding and replication to handle massive read/write

operations.

- Cache: A distributed caching layer to store frequently accessed data.

- Message Queues: For handling asynchronous tasks and managing high-throughput ticket

transactions.

- Content Delivery Network (CDN): For serving static content.

- Distributed Monitoring: A comprehensive monitoring and alert system to detect performance issues

and failures in real-time.

2. Detailed Components

a. API Gateway

- Acts as the entry point for all client requests.

- Responsible for authentication, rate-limiting, routing requests, logging, and request throttling.

b. Load Balancer

- Distributes traffic evenly across application servers.

- Prevents overloading and scales based on traffic.

c. Microservices Architecture

- User Service, Event Catalog Service, Ticket Inventory Service, Payment Service, Notification

Service, Recommendation Service, Analytics Service.


d. Ticket Inventory Management

- Optimistic and Pessimistic Locking for concurrency control.

- Transaction management across ticket reservation and payment.

e. Caching Layer

- Distributed caching to store frequently accessed data and reduce load on databases.

f. Database Architecture

- Sharding, replication, and partitioning to improve performance and manage high-volume read/write

operations.

g. Asynchronous Processing with Message Queues

- Handles tasks like email confirmations, updates, and ticket reservations asynchronously.

h. Rate Limiting and Throttling

- Prevents abuse by limiting requests per user or IP.

i. Queue Management

- Virtual waiting rooms and managing ticket purchases in high-demand scenarios.

j. CDN

- Stores and serves static content to reduce server load.

k. Payment Service Integration

- Secure, fault-tolerant integration with third-party payment gateways.

l. Monitoring and Alerts

- Real-time monitoring and alerts for system health and performance.

m. Scaling and Fault Tolerance

- Auto-scaling, failover mechanisms, and redundancy across regions.

n. Security

- Secure communication with OAuth2, JWT, SSL, and DDoS protection.


3. Workflow: Buying a Ticket

1. User requests ticket availability.

2. Ticket Inventory Service locks the ticket for a limited time.

3. Payment is processed with third-party gateways.

4. Ticket is confirmed and marked as sold.

5. User receives confirmation via Notification Service.
