> Connecting one booking platform to many third-party travel suppliers, and keeping bookings correct when those suppliers are slow, fail or change their answers.

- Scope: Multiple travel suppliers

## The problem

A travel platform is only as reliable as the suppliers behind it. Each one has its own API, its own speed and its own way of failing.

## What working with many suppliers involves

- API timeouts and slow responses
- Failures and retries
- Availability that changes between search and booking
- Pricing differences between suppliers
- Booking issues that have to be traced and resolved
- Concurrency, when many customers search and book at once
- Real-time status updates through webhooks

## My part

I build and maintain these integrations, and coordinate with the suppliers when something goes wrong on their side.
