How a leading online travel platform stayed reliable through peak booking season
A leading online travel platform operating as the travel vertical within a major Indian consumer super-app runs its flight and hotel booking platform on AWS under Flentas managed services. With unpredictable traffic spikes during peak seasons and promotions, alongside continuous exposure to security threats and bot traffic, the platform needed round-the-clock operations to stay reliable and secure. A dedicated Flentas managed-services team now operates the platform continuously, maintaining a smooth booking experience through volatile traffic while strengthening its security posture.
