Introducing RabbitMQ to the Coupon Issuance System
Key point
Olive Young's Coupon Squad adopted RabbitMQ to overcome the limitations of their existing Redis Worker, securing system stability and scalability.
Details
Previously, coupons were processed asynchronously using a Redis List-based Worker approach, but this struggled to handle excessive requests during large-scale sale events and had limits on feature expansion.
After comparing and analyzing Kafka(MSK) and RabbitMQ, the team ultimately chose RabbitMQ, which allows flexible structural design and easy usage, over Kafka, which is rigid in scaling up and down due to its partition policy.
After adopting RabbitMQ, the following improvements were achieved.
- Stable Issuance Processing: Maintained stable performance even under excessive request loads through prefetch and concurrency settings
- Simplified Process: Simplified the existing complex serial-number-based logic by leveraging internal concurrency
- Automated Bulk Issuance: Increased efficiency by automating bulk issuance by member grade, which was previously handled manually (Excel)
