The challenge
- The legacy monolith couldn't handle peak traffic
- No caching layer, so every request hit the database
- Synchronous payment processing caused timeouts
- No monitoring or alerting
Our approach
- Rebuilt the booking engine with Laravel and Livewire
- Queue-based reservation processing
- Multi-layer caching with Redis
- Payments moved to asynchronous queue workers
- Monitoring with Sentry and Datadog
The result
- Handles 50,000+ bookings a day
- Average response time down from 2.5s to 200ms
- Checkout conversion up 35%
- Infrastructure costs down 40%
They didn't just rebuild our platform, they transformed our entire engineering culture.
