Technical Challenges & Solutions

One of the most complex challenges was implementing a real-time seat reservation system that prevents double bookings while handling concurrent users. I developed a sophisticated locking mechanism using MySQL transactions and AJAX polling to ensure data consistency and provide instant feedback to users about seat availability.

Another significant challenge was creating a scalable payment processing system that could handle multiple payment gateways while maintaining PCI compliance. I implemented a secure payment abstraction layer that encrypts sensitive data and provides seamless integration with various payment providers, ensuring both security and flexibility.

The notification system presented unique challenges in terms of timing and reliability. I built a comprehensive email queue system with retry mechanisms and delivery tracking, ensuring critical booking confirmations and reminders are delivered reliably even during high traffic periods.
