High-concurrency distributed system for real-time gaming and microtransactions.
Tech Stack
Key Features
- High-Concurrency Distributed Systems
- Sub-millisecond Latency Optimization
- Hybrid Web2/Web3 Payment Architecture
- Zero-Trust Network Security (ZeroTier)
- Event-Sourced Transaction Integrity
The Challenge
Existing platforms suffered from latency issues that degraded the experience for high-frequency competitive interactions and multiplayer sessions.
Constraints & Scale
Required sub-millisecond latency for game state synchronization, high concurrency support (10k+ users), and absolute financial integrity.
System Architecture
High-performance edge API built with Bun and Hono. RabbitMQ handles the game loop event sourcing, while WebSockets provide real-time state updates to clients.
Key Tradeoffs
Chose the Bun runtime (bleeding edge) over Node.js to maximize throughput and minimize latency, accepting the risk of a smaller ecosystem. Implemented a custom binary protocol over WebSockets for speed.
Measurable Results
Maintained <50ms latency globally and 99.99% uptime during peak traffic events. Successfully processed millions of micro-transactions without data loss.
Project Details
Architected a high-performance distributed infrastructure for a Real-Time Multiplayer Platform, designed to handle massive concurrency and sub-millisecond latency. The system powers real-time multiplayer interactions, high-frequency state synchronization, and instant financial settlements. Leveraging the speed of the Bun runtime and Hono framework, I built a lightweight, high-throughput API layer. The system utilizes RabbitMQ for reliable event sourcing, ensuring that every game outcome and transaction is processed accurately even under peak loads. Security was a primary focus; I implemented a private networking layer using ZeroTier to isolate the admin back-office from the public internet. The platform also integrates Web3 wallet connections for hybrid fiat-crypto payment flows, bridging traditional gaming with blockchain economy.
