Core Production Implementations

Six high-impact engineering solutions solving hard scalability, latency, and resilience challenges.

01
High Concurrency · P99 < 3.5ms

High-Throughput Golang APIs with Zero-Allocation Buffering

Designed low-latency REST and gRPC API gateways absorbing sudden 500k+ RPS flash-sale surges. Eliminated garbage collection pauses by reusing byte slices via sync.Pool, enforcing context deadlines, and adopting lock-free atomic counters for metrics tracking.

02
WebRTC SFU · < 42ms Glass-to-Glass

Real-Time Livestreaming & Chat with LiveKit WebRTC SFU

Engineered real-time audio/video broadcasting infrastructure powered by LiveKit WebRTC SFU in Go. Forwards raw RTP audio and video packets directly to subscribers with dynamic simulcast layer switching, eliminating transcoding bottlenecks and managing 100k+ simultaneous WebSocket chat sessions via Redis Pub/Sub channels.

Event Sourcing · 150k+ msgs/s

Decoupled Event Streaming with Apache Kafka & Idempotency

Built an enterprise event-driven architecture ingesting 150,000+ msgs/sec. Implemented the transactional outbox pattern to guarantee atomic database updates and event publishing, paired with distributed deduplication keys in Redis to guarantee idempotent consumer execution during network partitions.

Database Optimization, PgBouncer Pooling & Sharding

Restructured legacy PostgreSQL bottlenecks under intense write contention. Optimized transactional isolation levels, deployed PgBouncer in transaction mode to support 25,000 backend connections with 120 server connections, and leveraged GIN partial indexes for sub-5ms complex queries.

Memory Bounded · Fixed 64MB RAM

Zero-OOM Multi-Million Row Streaming Data Exporter

Designed a memory-bounded streaming pipeline exporting 20M+ rows into compressed CSV and ZIP archives on the fly. Replaced in-memory accumulation buffers with connected io.Pipe reader-writer goroutines, maintaining a strictly bounded 64MB memory footprint regardless of export size.

Zero Trust · Sub-ms Auth

Enterprise Auth & Asymmetric RS256 JWT Verification

Implemented high-speed distributed authentication using asymmetric RS256 JWT validation. Downstream Go services verify cryptographic signatures locally using cached public RSA keys with zero network round-trip overhead, protected by sliding-window Redis token bucket rate limiters.
