summary

The talk describes AviaSales’ metasearch engine for flight tickets and the custom processing engine called “Yasen” built to query and handle responses from dozens of external APIs. It explains handling large XML/JSON payloads (200–2000 KB per provider), and the design decisions to meet requirements: high availability, easy scalability, hot deploys, simple configuration, and low developer onboarding cost.
