Allowed Sub/Unsub operations at both source and destination. Tech Used: using Springboot Java, Postgres, AWS SQS ◦ System Reliability: Created service level metrics (SLIs) and Service level objectives(SLOs) to monitor and maintain the uptime, latencies, and user-level behaviours of the my team’s components(microservices, jobs, DBs etc). Added DB failover mechanisms, Dedicated DB connection pools per workload(jvm), and designed all initiatives with reliability and deterministic failover scenarios. Used datadog to manage SLOs, track SLIs and Rootly to raise alerts.
