"Every Indian should know about this. What you have done with IRCTC is truly amazing."
Here is what months of research on IRCTC got me:
-- IRCTC is a wrapper/aggregator on top of Indian Railways Booking Systems.
-- The booking system is managed by Centre for Railway Information System (CRIS).
-- The project name is CONCERT (Country-wide Network for Computerized Enhanced reservation and Ticketing) is a mission critical Online Transaction Processing Application based on a distributed database model.
-- It has four data centres at New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai. All requests are routed to one of these data centers and completed locally, depending on the region assigned to the train.
-- A backup data center in Hyderabad(Secunderabad) provides fault tolerance. About 2 years ago, a fire in Kolkata caused on of their Passenger Reservation System to be shut down. Secunderabad took over for nearly 4 days, resulting in seamless operations.
-- The algorithm for seat booking isn't mentioned in any white paper or tender that I could see. Seems like a secret!
----------------
This research began 12 months ago after a live class at InterviewReady. We were trying to design a scalable booking system, and IRCTC impressed us all.
That's when I decided to dig into it's internals.
Along the way, I came to know that the Indian Railways manages transactions worth ~ βΉ2 lakh crore every year.
They have advanced realtime systems for ticketing, tracking and monitoring trains.
And their work on scalable booking systems effects us all. More than 1 billion people!
