We are excited to announce the successful completion of Stage 1 of our migration process: the Perl to Python migration, which focused on Availability, Rates, and Inventory (ARI). This marks a significant upgrade to our technology stack and a major milestone in our ongoing efforts to enhance service quality and streamline operations for our partners and customers.
What Does This Mean for You?
The successful completion of Stage 1 brings several key benefits designed to improve your experience with STAAH:
Stage 1
1. Enhanced Log Structure: We’ve optimized our log system to align more closely with OTA request and response formats, resulting in clearer, more organized logs. Additionally, we’ve integrated ticket flow details, which are now accessible directly from the frontend for increased transparency.
2. Database Optimization: We’ve significantly simplified our database structure, reducing over 250 tables to just one efficient table, enhancing overall system performance and reducing processing times.
3. Faster Processing with Python: With Python’s superior performance, we’ve achieved faster processing and greater responsiveness, improving the speed and reliability of our services.
4. Improved Script Efficiency: Our new setup has reduced HBS OTA update times from 3-4 minutes to under 15 seconds, enabling quicker updates and more efficient workflows.
5. Advanced Error Handling and Caching: We’ve introduced a new retry mechanism for handling 5XX errors, implemented Redis caching to prevent duplicate postings, and added enhanced error handling with exception notifications for faster issue resolution.
Next Steps: Stage 2 – Bookings
With Stage 1 (ARI) now complete, we are moving forward with Stage 2, which will focus on further enhancing Bookings functionality. This next phase will continue to optimize the overall system performance and enable even more seamless operations for our users.
As we continue to evolve, we are also exploring the potential of a serverless architecture to improve scalability and operational efficiency. These ongoing innovations are designed to ensure that your connectivity with STAAH remains seamless, reliable, and future-proof.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this exciting journey. The STAAH Connectivity Team remains committed to providing the BEST connectivity for you
