over deze talk
Een serverless, event-driven ticketingplatform op AWS, zelf gebouwd, dat meer dan een miljoen tickets verkocht voor Zwarte Cross, Defqon.1 en Awakenings.
Learn how we built a serverless, fault-tolerant, event-driven ticketing platform on AWS. We will cover the reasons behind the decision of building this platform from scratch ourselves, the architecture of the different components, the concepts of event logging and how we deal with security & privacy. The platform launched halfway 2024 and has already been battle tested by handling over a million tickets for the biggest music festivals of the Netherlands including Zwarte Cross, Defqon.1 and Awakenings.
