Distributed Systems
Distributed systems that handle millions of daily events with proven reliability. We architect event-driven systems, microservices platforms, and scalable infrastructure that maintain >99.9% uptime for mission-critical operations—complexity managed correctly from the start.
Distributed Systems
In 2025, distributed systems aren't optional—they're essential for any application that needs to scale. We design and build fault-tolerant distributed systems that handle millions of daily events, process massive transaction volumes, and serve thousands of organizations reliably. From event-driven architectures to microservices, container orchestration to distributed databases, we use the full spectrum of distributed systems technologies to build platforms that scale.
What We've Built: Real Distributed Systems Results
Reconciliation Platform - We built a distributed system processing 8-10 million transactions per day with 100% accuracy. The system uses event-driven architecture, distributed processing, and fault-tolerant design patterns to handle massive transaction volumes reliably. This platform demonstrates our expertise in building systems that scale horizontally while maintaining perfect accuracy.
Multi-Tenant SaaS Platform - We developed a multi-tenant SaaS platform serving thousands of organizations with complete data isolation. The system uses tenant-specific database contexts, distributed caching, and horizontal scaling to support rapid growth. This platform showcases our expertise in building scalable multi-tenant architectures.
Blockchain-Based Platform - We built a distributed blockchain platform integrating Ethereum smart contracts, IPFS decentralized storage, and microservices architecture. The system demonstrates our expertise in combining blockchain technology with traditional distributed systems patterns for innovative solutions.
Multi-Application Platform - We developed a distributed platform with separate microservices for admin, venue portal, playlist generation, and device management. The system uses RESTful APIs, containerization, and service mesh patterns to enable independent scaling and deployment of each service.
These aren't theoretical architectures—they're production systems processing millions of transactions, serving thousands of users, and handling complex distributed workflows reliably.
Distributed Systems Technologies We Use
Message Queues & Event Streaming
Apache Kafka - We use Kafka for high-throughput event streaming, enabling real-time data processing and event-driven architectures. Kafka provides durable message storage, horizontal scaling, and exactly-once semantics for critical workflows.
Amazon Kinesis - We leverage Kinesis for real-time data streaming on AWS, enabling scalable event processing and analytics. Kinesis integrates seamlessly with other AWS services for complete cloud-native architectures.
RabbitMQ - We use RabbitMQ for reliable message queuing, enabling asynchronous processing and service decoupling. RabbitMQ provides flexible routing, message acknowledgments, and high availability patterns.
AWS SQS - We leverage AWS SQS for distributed queue processing in serverless architectures, enabling scalable campaign processing and master-worker patterns. SQS provides reliable message delivery, automatic scaling, and integration with AWS Lambda for cost-effective distributed processing.
Containerization & Orchestration
Docker - We containerize applications using Docker, enabling consistent deployments across environments. Docker containers provide isolation, portability, and efficient resource utilization.
Kubernetes - We orchestrate containerized applications with Kubernetes, enabling automatic scaling, self-healing, and service discovery. Kubernetes provides declarative configuration, rolling updates, and horizontal pod autoscaling.
Docker Compose - We use Docker Compose for local development and multi-container applications, enabling easy service composition and testing.
Distributed Databases
PostgreSQL - We use PostgreSQL for relational data with replication, partitioning, and distributed query capabilities. PostgreSQL provides ACID compliance, JSON support, and advanced indexing for complex data models.
MongoDB - We leverage MongoDB for document-based storage with sharding and replication. MongoDB provides horizontal scaling, flexible schemas, and high availability through replica sets.
Redis - We use Redis for distributed caching, session management, and real-time data storage. Redis provides sub-millisecond latency, pub/sub messaging, and distributed locking capabilities.
Microservices & API Architecture
FastAPI - We build high-performance microservices with FastAPI, enabling async processing and automatic API documentation. FastAPI provides type safety, dependency injection, and WebSocket support.
Spring Boot - We develop Java-based microservices with Spring Boot, leveraging Spring Cloud for service discovery, configuration management, and circuit breakers.
RESTful APIs - We design RESTful APIs following best practices for distributed systems, enabling service-to-service communication and client integration.
GraphQL - We implement GraphQL APIs for flexible data querying, reducing over-fetching and enabling efficient client-server communication.
Service Mesh & API Gateways
Service Mesh - We implement service mesh patterns for service-to-service communication, providing traffic management, security, and observability without application code changes.
API Gateways - We deploy API gateways for request routing, authentication, rate limiting, and API versioning across distributed services.
Cloud Platforms
AWS - We build distributed systems on AWS using services like EC2, ECS, Lambda, S3, RDS, ElastiCache, and CloudWatch. AWS provides comprehensive tools for building scalable, reliable distributed systems.
Google Cloud Platform - We leverage GCP services including App Engine, Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, and Cloud Storage for distributed system deployment and management.
Observability & Monitoring
Distributed Tracing - We implement distributed tracing to track requests across multiple services, enabling performance analysis and debugging in complex distributed systems.
Logging & Monitoring - We set up centralized logging and monitoring for distributed systems, providing visibility into system health, performance, and errors across all services.
Metrics & Alerting - We implement metrics collection and alerting for distributed systems, enabling proactive issue detection and resolution.

What are distributed systems?
Distributed systems are software systems that run on multiple machines, working together as a single system. This architecture enables horizontal scalability, fault tolerance, and the ability to handle large-scale workloads across distributed networks. Distributed systems use technologies like message queues (Kafka, Kinesis), container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), distributed databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis), microservices, and service mesh patterns to build scalable, reliable platforms.
Why do I need distributed systems?
Distributed systems are essential for applications that need to scale horizontally, handle millions of events per day, maintain high availability (>99.9% uptime), and provide fault tolerance. They're critical for enterprise-scale applications that cannot afford downtime. Distributed systems enable you to process massive transaction volumes, serve thousands of organizations in multi-tenant SaaS platforms, and build microservices that can scale independently.
What technologies are used in distributed systems?
Distributed systems use a comprehensive technology stack including: message queues and event streaming (Kafka, Kinesis, RabbitMQ), containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), distributed databases (PostgreSQL with replication, MongoDB with sharding, Redis for caching), microservices frameworks (FastAPI, Spring Boot), service mesh and API gateways, cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud), and observability tools (distributed tracing, logging, monitoring). We use these technologies across our projects to build scalable, fault-tolerant systems.
How have you used distributed systems technologies in your projects?
We've used distributed systems technologies across multiple projects: event-driven architectures with Kafka/Kinesis for platforms processing 8-10M transactions daily, microservices with FastAPI and Spring Boot for independent service scaling, multi-tenant architectures with tenant-specific database contexts serving thousands of organizations, container orchestration with Docker for consistent deployments, distributed databases with PostgreSQL replication and MongoDB sharding for high availability, and RESTful APIs and GraphQL for service-to-service communication. These technologies enable our platforms to scale horizontally and maintain >99.9% uptime.
