HLD: Design Ticketmaster

Designing Ticketmaster involves managing massive concurrency for highly popular global events.

The "Race Condition"

To prevent double-booking, use Optimistic Locking in the database (checking version numbers before updating) or a distributed lock (Redis Redlock) for the seat selection phase.

Workflow

  1. User selects seat → temporary claim (10min TTL).
  2. Proceed to payment.
  3. Payment success → finalize booking.
  4. Payment fail/timeout → release seat.
