Event-Driven Architecture Implementation
Jun 2023 to Jan 2024
Overview
Implemented event-driven architecture using Google Pub/Sub to eliminate system downtime issues. Created topic structure, subscription management, and message routing with dead letter queues. Connected multiple microservices through asynchronous communication. Eliminated monthly 3-hour incidents, achieved 99.99% message delivery, reduced response time by 60%, and enabled 10x higher concurrent transaction processing.
Key Features
- Google Pub/Sub topic and subscription management
