Distributed Deployment and Management of
Pretix - a Ticket Shop Application
This project allows the deployment and management of a distributed open-source product. The product provided is Pretix, a ticket shop application for conferences, festivals, tech events, etc. The system has a fully-automatic deployment pipeline and is fault tolerant. We provide reports on the work developed, the source code and the respective documentation.
Persistence is done using a PostgreSQL cluster, caching using a Redis cluster and communications with the product resort to Pretix's REST API. Load balancing is done with NGinX implemented both inside Pretix and outside to distribute load amongst a set of endpoints. The deployed service is hosted in a Docker Compose Swarm.
/docs - contains all documentation (presentation and reports).
/pretix - contains containers' configurations, performance evaluation scripts and a quickstart script.
