As a key member of the platform team at Flipkart, we owned Varadhi, a REST API-based messaging service supporting pub-sub and point-to-point delivery. I spearheaded critical features such as Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery (BCP-DR), ensured zero downtime during Big Billion Days sales, owned the Varadhi Ruby client, and enhanced produce/consume visibility. Additionally, I successfully onboarded Varadhi onto Kubernetes, creating a seamless and scalable infrastructure.
