The challenge

A high-volume operation needed to orchestrate queues in real time and route work intelligently; the single coordinator was a bottleneck at 500+ concurrent tasks, causing 40-minute average wait times and 18% SLA breaches.

What we built

We built a real-time queue orchestrator with intelligent routing, backed by Redis for low-latency state and Kafka for durable event flow.

The outcome

Work routes to the right place in real time, throughput scales horizontally, and the system degrades gracefully under load spikes.

  • Queue state lives in Redis for low-latency reads and atomic updates.

  • Routing decisions are event-driven so no single coordinator becomes a bottleneck.

  • Kafka provides a durable backbone for replay and audit.
