Client Overview
HIT Inc. empowers independent artists and live music fans by providing a modern, community-driven event discovery and mobile ticketing platform. Fans discover upcoming concerts and shows, follow their favorite performers, and buy tickets directly through the web and native mobile apps on iOS and Google Play.
The Challenge
During high-demand artist tours and tour announcements, ticket booking traffic surges from a normal baseline to tens of thousands of concurrent fans within seconds. HIT required:
- Sub-second checkout flows with zero double-booking or inventory overselling.
- Native mobile applications on iOS and Android synchronized with web bookings in real time.
- Dynamic, fraud-resistant digital ticketing wallets with rotating QR security.
- Resilient cloud architecture capable of bursting during sudden flash sales without driving idle infrastructure costs.

- Deployed containerized microservices on Amazon ECS / AWS Fargate for auto-scaling from zero to high throughput in seconds.
-
Cross-Platform Mobile & Web Experience:
- Built the web platform using Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS with server-side rendering for rich SEO event discovery.
- Delivered native iOS and Android mobile apps on the App Store and Google Play with push notifications for tour dates and ticket drops.
