When you book a bus ticket online in India say through PayTm or MakeMyTrip, chances are that the website is consuming data (bus routes and all related details) from Travelyaari's platform.
Technologies & Tools: Python, MSSQL, Redis, Celery, Memcached
I contributed to the redesign of this platform called Global Distribution System ( GDS) by writing scalable code for batch and real time processing of routes in Python.
This platform is a distributed system & it supports tens of thousands of transactional & non-transactional seamless transactions to power up real time bus ticket booking across India.
