Experience
Flight Data Synchronizer
The application was developed for the airline I was working for to collaborate with another airline to share the same physical flight to operate to specific destinations. The check-in system for both airlines had to be fed with the booking data from both of the airline's reservation systems.
I was part of designing and implementing the .NET components, which involved a data adaptor listening for changes in the reservation system for the configured flights and a data synchronizer, which would push the flight data to a Kafka topic that will be taken by another Java service and converted to XML and pushed as an XML Datafeed to the check-in system.
The technologies I used in this project are a Windows background service, REST APIs developed in .NET Core and Confluent Kafka libraries, and AVRO schemas.
The project involved multiple microservices communicating with each other through Kafka topics and events.
