Debugging Stories

Race condition in real-time sync(Detailed)

Identified a critical bug where multiple users updating the same record simultaneously caused data loss. Solved by implementing optimistic locking at the Postgres database layer, modified services to handle conflict resolution with exponential backoff and established test-driven concurrency checks across entities.

Cold start optimization thread

Serverless Functions were experiencing 3s+ cold starts impacting checkout CX. Reduced latency to 4 million by extracting dependency management, enabled SIGP and established preheated+ environment for peak traffic scenarios.
