Ticket Plus - Scalable Ticketing System with Dashboard

The Ticket Plus project involved building a production-ready ticketing platform designed for high-traffic environments. The core challenge was ensuring the system module could handle tens of thousands of concurrent users during peak booking periods without performance degradation. To achieve this, I architected a robust RESTful API using Node.js and Express.js, integrated with Redis for high-speed data caching and real-time session management.

The administrative dashboard was built using Next.js 14, leveraging the App Router and TypeScript for enhanced type safety and maintainability. By utilizing shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS, I created an intuitive and responsive interface that allows organizers to manage events, monitor ticket sales in real-time, and generate detailed analytics reports. The implementation of WebSockets ensured that ticket availability was synchronized instantly across all connected clients.

The final solution successfully handled 15,000+ concurrent users during its largest event launch, processing over half a million dollars in transactions within its first month of operation. By optimizing the booking flow and implementing efficient server-side rendering, we reduced the average ticket reservation time by 60%, resulting in a significantly improved user experience and zero downtime during high-stakes sales periods.
