Technical Challenges & Solutions

Challenge 1: High Traffic from Influencers

• Problem: Surges in traffic after influencer posts (10K visitors in first launch hour)
• Solution: Auto-scaling AWS infrastructure.

Challenge 2: Database Scaling & Query Performance

• Problem: Increased load from analytics, dashboards, and admin tools led to slow queries and lock contention.
• Solution: Applied proper indexing strategies, query optimization, and read/write separation. Introduced Redis caching for frequent queries and background jobs for heavy data aggregation.

Challenge 3: Real-time Synchronization

• Solution: Built a queued email system with retry logic, fallback SMTP providers, delivery tracking, and alerting on failure rates to maintain high deliverability.

Performance Optimizations

• Used proper caching strategies for static assets
• Efficient DB indexing + query tuning for faster response times
