High-Throughput API Infrastructure & Observability
High-scale SaaS API gateway handling millions of requests with advanced distributed tracing, metrics, and logs for 99.99% uptime and reliability.
The Challenge
The SaaS platform needed to handle millions of API requests daily while maintaining 99.99% uptime and providing deep observability. Existing infrastructure struggled with request routing, rate limiting, and monitoring. The client needed a scalable API gateway with comprehensive tracing and metrics for rapid issue resolution.
