TravelBuddy Flight & Hotel Booking Platform

Executive Project Context

TravelBuddy aggregates real-time flight fares, hotel suites, and car rentals from global distribution systems (Amadeus, Sabre). They engaged codeYB to build a responsive web platform that searches 100+ provider APIs concurrently in under 500ms.

⚠️ Initial Technical & Operational Challenges

1. Slow Multi-API Aggregation Latency

Querying 10+ third-party flight APIs sequentially caused 12-second search delays and high drop-offs.

2. Price Stale Lockout During Payment

Airline seat fares expired during slow multi-step checkout flows, triggering payment failures.

💡 Architectural Solutions by codeYB

Parallel Async GDS Adapter Queue

Engineered parallelized Node.js workers fetching and deduplicating flight inventory in under 500ms.

Real-Time Fare Lock WebSocket Channel

Implemented 15-minute temporary fare holding queues preventing seat price jumps during payment settlement.

Quantifiable Business Impact (Before vs After)

Travel Aggregation Architecture

TravelBuddy uses Next.js 16 Server-Sent Events (SSE) and Redis caching layers to stream flight search results progressively as third-party APIs resolve.
