System Architecture

Event-Driven Transaction Blueprint

An example blueprint of a high-throughput platform I typically design and operate. By decoupling stateful monolithic components into independent microservices communicating safely via Kafka, and implementing aggressive caching with Redis, system latency is drastically reduced while maintaining strict 99.99% availability under massive concurrent loads.
