  • Implemented asynchronous processing using FastAPI, AsyncIO, and RabbitMQ to handle millions of daily change logs across products, pricing, inventory, media assets, and custom attributes.
  • Built asynchronous services to process change events in the background using RabbitMQ to prevent data loss and system failures during event spikes.

Results

  • Ensured the application remained responsive during peak volume by moving change event logging off the main request path into background processing.
