Automation Services & Microservices

Event-driven microservices that schedule jobs and keep databases in sync without blocking the main product API.

Architecture & workflows

How this product is built, deployed, and operated in production.

Delivery flow

End-to-end delivery flow for this project, from intake through the final handoff.

Challenge

Long-running automation blocked request workers and failed silently when third-party APIs timed out.

How we did it

Split work into FastAPI services, Dockerized workers, and RabbitMQ queues with retries and dead-letter handling.

Outcome

Jobs became observable and restart-safe, with clearer SLAs for scheduling and database updates.
