The Technical Architecture
During quarterly product releases, traffic spikes were previously causing MySQL row lock contention on stock quantities. We architected a Redis reservation token system that validates and reserves cart inventory in memory before writing to the database asynchronously.
Coupled with a 1-click dynamic bundle extension, the average order value grew by 42% while site latency dropped below 800ms.
