Amazon QLDB For Online Booking – Our Experience After 3 Years In Production
<p>Back in 2021, my cofounders and I started a business to simplify building internet booking experiences. We think that online booking for hotels and vacation rentals is broken for <strong>both consumers and producers</strong> and created <a href="https://www.lodgea.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">LODGEA</a> as the <em>Shopify for hotels and vacation rentals</em>. It includes a fully flexible geospatial timeries vector search engine for consumers and e-commerce at the push of a button for producers — i.e. hoteliers, hotel chains, vacation rental managers and agencies. The journey of building LODGEA took us to Amazon QLDB. A journey I’ll share with you today.</p>
<p>The traditional approach for online booking is to have a relational database management system for online transaction processing <em>(OLTP)</em>. Availability searches, price queries and bookings <em>(transactions)</em> would all be centralized in that OLTP database.</p>
