Double-bookings

The challenge

A growing property network needed a booking engine that stayed correct under concurrent demand — no double-bookings, a tamper-evident audit trail, and latency low enough to convert.

The solution

We modeled reservations as an event-sourced aggregate, moved cross-service coordination onto Kafka, and used Redis for concurrency-safe inventory holds. ImmuDB gave us an immutable audit log for every state transition.

Architecture

01

Reservations are an event-sourced aggregate; the read model is a re-derivable projection, never the source of truth.

02

Inventory holds use atomic Redis admission so two concurrent requests can never oversell the same room.

03

Kafka decouples availability, pricing, and notification workflows so each scales independently.

AI component

An OCR-assisted pipeline parses uploaded travel documents at check-in, pre-filling guest records and flagging mismatches for staff review.

Results

Booking latency dropped from 2.5s to 0.8s, double-bookings were eliminated by design, and every reservation became fully auditable.
