The AI Ticketing Backend Built for One Billion Monthly Interactions

More than just a “ticketing system,” this is an AI-native, multi-agent, production-ready platform built for enterprise support teams that demand scale, precision, and reliability.

Who Needs It?

Designed for organizations where millions of daily support interactions and strict SLAs make speed and uptime critical:

• Global e-commerce: Amazon, Shopify: Classify and resolve millions of inquiries daily.

• Telecom & ISPs: Verizon, AT&T, Vodafone: Manage billing, outage, and technical support at massive scale.

• Travel & hospitality: Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia: Handle cancellations, refunds, and changes in real time.

• Enterprise SaaS: Salesforce, Atlassian, Zoom: Deliver premium, real-time support worldwide.

• Banking & fintech: PayPal, Stripe, Revolut: Resolve disputes, detect fraud, and manage transactions instantly.

If your operation spans multiple regions and peaks at millions of tickets per day, this is the foundation for sustaining speed, trust, and global scale.

Why It Matters

• Faster resolutions, happier customers: AI-assisted classification and routing cut response times.

• Lower costs at scale: Automate routine cases while preserving quality for complex issues.

• Resilient by design: Stays online during outages or spikes with graceful degradation.

• Data-driven scaling: Built-in observability and load testing inform precise growth decisions.

System Design for 1B+ Interactions

• Active-Active Multi-Region: Low latency, high uptime with health-aware routing

• CQRS & Event-Driven: Writes via Kafka/Event Hubs, reads cache-first

• Sharding & Partitioning: Avoid hotspots across DBs and streams

• Aggressive Caching: Reduce latency and backend load

• Backpressure & Graceful Degradation: Queues, retries, circuit breakers

• SLO-Driven Observability: Tie performance metrics directly to business goals

Technology Stack

• Backend: Python, FastAPI, AsyncIO (high throughput, low latency)
  

• Data: MongoDB (sharded tickets), PostgreSQL (accounts/RBAC), Elasticsearch (search), Vector DB (FAISS), Redis (cache & queues)
  

• AI Pipeline: LangChain, OpenAI SDK, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), multi-agent orchestration
  

• Event Streaming: Kafka / Azure Event Hubs (CQRS writes, backpressure)
  

• Infrastructure: Azure Cloud (active-active multi-region), API Gateway, Azure Front Door, CDN, WAF, DDoS protection
  

• Observability: OpenTelemetry (traces), Prometheus + Grafana (metrics), ELK/Loki (logs)
  

• Security: JWT/OAuth, token verification, threat modeling, malformed payload rejection
