David Parkinson, Head of Development at Skiddle:
“Ticketing is a complicated business, with highly variable loads across multiple interconnected services. For over 20 years, we have been developing ways to optimise the experience across the entire ticket purchase flow.
From descriptive whats-on guides and easy-to-use checkouts to a microservice architecture that ensures everything runs smoothly for even the biggest spikes in demand, Skiddle has always explored the best ways to provide a reliable platform with a great user experience.”
