  • Peitho - The persuasion engine of MakeMyTrip.
  • This can target the user at any/all funnel steps. It's a compute and data heavy service as the insight data is huge and hundreds of persuasions needs to be computed for hundreds of nodes(flights, hotels etc) in each request. To solve this, the service is designed as a distributed system which deterministically distributes insight data and compute tasks.
  • Tech: Vert.x, Couchbase, Caffeine, Stickler.
  • Stickler - It’s a jar to evaluate rules where a rule is defined as and/or of expression.
  • R = ((e1&(e2|e3))&((e4&(e6|(7&e8)))|(e9|(e10&e11))))
  • Expression = lhs operator rhs
  • Lhs and rhs can again be complex expressions.
  • Each rule is considered as graph and a forest of all graphs are created.
  • It has its own scheduler which decides to run a node in queue (same strand) or a new strand.
  • UserService - This keeps entire user data for MakeMyTrip.
  • Replacing legacy system and migrating all users to new system. Supporting multiple user profiles(Business/Personal).
  • Enabling mobile based login.
  • It is READ optimized secured architecture supported with multi level insync-caching.
  • The new user service is supported by ASK-WHAT-YOU-WANT inhouse-built query framework, which helped reducing
  • >100 APIs(existing) to just 4 APIS(crud).
  • We created a framework which supports
  • 1. JSON based query language
  • 2. CRUD operations supporting partial UPDATES and FETCHES.
  • 3. same query structure / syntax for both fetch and update.
  • Technologies Used : Dropwizard, Couchbase, MySQL, Kafka, Guava Cache, Kafka mirror
  • Common discounting framework - This serves all lobs for defining, recommending, validating coupons and vouchers. It
  • supports lob agnostic, bulk, generic and instant coupons with multiple validation criteria, usage restrictions etc. All
  • coupons in MakeMyTrip are defined and maintained here. It is being used to recommend coupons for all lob listing pages.
  • Technologies used : Dropwizard, Couchbase, MySQL, SQLite
