EventStripe

The client required a project-specific platform capable of supporting near-real-time purchases, dynamic pricing logic, and stable operation during unpredictable load peaks typical for large ticket launches.

This case study describes a project-specific SaaS platform implemented for a single client under defined operational conditions. Architectural descriptions and performance characteristics are presented in an abstracted form and may vary depending on workload patterns and deployment environments.

Executive Summary

EventStripe is a high-load event ticketing platform built for extreme traffic spikes, global payment flows, and complex pricing logic. The goal was to deliver a scalable architecture that remains stable under peak demand while keeping releases fast and reliable. The solution combines microservices, Kubernetes autoscaling, full observability, and hardened CI/CD pipelines to absorb traffic surges without downtime and support continuous product iteration.

Challenge

Unlike traditional event websites, EventStripe had to support instant booking, payment orchestration, and fraud monitoring simultaneously — while minimizing service interruptions during peak traffic events. Additionally, the platform required detailed observability to detect operational anomalies with low-latency monitoring and alerting.

Our Approach

We built a microservice-based architecture that separates ticket management, payments, analytics, and user notifications into independent services. The system was deployed in a Kubernetes cluster to enable horizontal scaling during high-load events. Monitoring was handled by ELK stack and Grafana, providing comprehensive visibility into performance metrics. EventStripe Architecture

Results

• Stable operation observed under high concurrent user load
• Low-latency request handling during peak traffic periods
• Automated scaling and rollback mechanisms implemented
• Integrated monitoring and anomaly detection workflows
• Improved operational visibility during high-demand events

Why it Matters

This project validated our ability to build enterprise-grade SaaS architectures that remain lightweight and maintainable. The same modular design principles now serve as the foundation for H-Studio's startup infrastructure builds — designed for resilience, maintainability, and controlled failure handling.
