Custom Software & MISProject Overview
Relay is a distributed backend API routing engine built to handle high-concurrency requests, automated webhook dispatching, and resilient service isolation.
The Problem
A monolithic backend architecture struggled with API rate-limiting spikes, webhook retries exhausting database connection pools, and lack of regional caching.
The Objective
Design and deploy a resilient Node.js microservices architecture with automated retry queues, rate-limiting guards, and global edge caching.
The Devtacet Solution
Devtacet decomposed the monolith into lightweight, containerized Node.js and Express microservices backed by MongoDB replica sets and Redis message queues with exponential backoff handling.
Key Features Delivered
- Edge Request Routing: Sub-15ms edge routing and TLS termination.
- Reliable Webhook Delivery: Exponential backoff retries with dead-letter queues.
- Granular API Rate Limiting: Token-bucket algorithm preventing service abuse.
- End-to-End Encryption: TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 database encryption at rest.
Technical Architecture
Stateless Node.js services deployed behind an edge gateway with Redis-backed session verification and idempotent webhook dispatch workers.
Documented Results
Maintained 99.99% service uptime during high-volume webhook events, with average API response times reduced to under 35ms.
