Project Overview

DITS partnered with BCommerce, a leading Canadian travel services provider, to build a unified, cloud-native travel booking solution. This platform consolidates flights, hotels, rail, buses, and packages into one seamless interface. Built on .NET Core 7 with a microservices architecture, it incorporates Dapr for sidecar communication, Redis for real-time caching and Pub/Sub, and Kubernetes for orchestration. By integrating content from TravelPort, AirArabia, and TBO Hotels, the system delivers instant search and booking experiences. It modernizes outdated workflows, offering a robust solution for companies seeking reliable travel software for companies and white label travel portal development support.

Tackling the Complexities of Travel Tech Modernization

Tackling the Complexities of Travel Tech Modernization
Legacy Monoliths Held Back Innovation

Legacy Monoliths Held Back Innovation

The client relied on fragmented, spreadsheet-based workflows with no centralization—making it difficult to deliver cohesive customer experiences or scale with new travel products and providers.

Scaling Independent Microservices Was Challenging

Scaling Independent Microservices Was Challenging

Managing multiple services under one umbrella introduced orchestration issues, particularly around CI/CD, container health, and resilience in an event-driven architecture

Resource-Heavy Docker Builds

Resource-Heavy Docker Builds

Large container image sizes delayed deployment cycles and increased infrastructure costs—creating bottlenecks in local development and multi-environment rollouts.

Messaging Middleware Integration Required R&D

Messaging Middleware Integration Required R&D

Replacing Kafka with Redis for Pub/Sub workflows added engineering complexity due to limited implementation documentation and lack of mature support.

Observability Across Services Was Lacking

Observability Across Services Was Lacking

Without end-to-end logging and monitoring, debugging issues across the distributed microservices environment delayed resolution times and hindered user satisfaction.

State Management With Dapr Was Complex

State Management With Dapr Was Complex

Achieving consistent and scalable state handling across stateless services required custom logic, adding to project complexity during early phases of travel portal development.

Scalable Architecture to Power Global Travel Operations

Scalable Architecture to Power Global Travel Operations

Leveraging Dapr, Redis, and CQRS, the solution transformed a legacy process into an intelligent tour operator software foundation for seamless booking and operational visibility.

Microservices with CQRS Architecture

Microservices with CQRS Architecture

Designed a modular system using CQRS, separating read/write concerns across services to ensure better maintainability, performance, and independent deployment of business logic components.

Redis for Caching & Messaging

Redis for Caching & Messaging

Used Redis both for real-time data caching and as a performant messaging broker—allowing faster booking flows and efficient, scalable event-handling between services.

Comprehensive Observability Stack

Comprehensive Observability Stack

Added Zipkin for tracing, Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring, and Loki for centralized logs—enabling rapid root cause analysis across distributed services.

Sidecar Communication with Dapr

Sidecar Communication with Dapr

Integrated Dapr to handle service invocation, pub/sub messaging, and configuration, minimizing coupling and reducing complexity in service-to-service communication.

Secure Authentication via Keycloak

Secure Authentication via Keycloak

Incorporated OTP-based login flows and granular permission management, ensuring secure access across user roles—a standard in b2b travel software development environments.

Docker & Kubernetes Deployment Optimization

Docker & Kubernetes Deployment Optimization

Employed multi-stage Docker builds and Kubernetes orchestration to manage deployments efficiently across Dev, UAT, and production environments.

Flight & Hotel Search and Booking

Flight & Hotel Search and Booking

Offers real-time global search, dynamic pricing, and instant bookings, forming the foundation for developing a flight and hotel aggregator platform at scale.

Shared Master Services Layer

Shared Master Services Layer

Unified APIs for agents, suppliers, product rules, and more—enabling standardization and ease of maintenance across modules.

Integrated Payment Gateway

Integrated Payment Gateway

Secure external payment integration enables smooth, fast transactions, ensuring trust and convenience for travel software companies focused on high conversion.

Role-Based Authentication System

Role-Based Authentication System

Keycloak integration manages login via OTP, allowing tiered access and tighter security for different user roles and admin profiles

Real-Time Travel Content Integration

APIs from TravelPort, AirArabia, and TBO Hotels ensure always up-to-date availability and pricing—a must-have in any white label travel portal development strategy.

Event-Driven Communication

Redis + Dapr Pub/Sub enable real-time syncing across microservices, reducing booking delays and improving responsiveness.

Performance Monitoring and Debugging

Grafana dashboards and Zipkin traces offer full visibility into metrics and system health, ensuring reliable platform performance.
