A National Fuel Pricing Platform at Public-Sector Scale

Serves 69.9 million citizens nationwide

ScalePublic SectorHigh Availability

Context

A public sector client needed a platform where fuel stations across the country could submit updated fuel prices to a central portal, and citizens could look up the cheapest nearby fuel in real time.

Problem

Millions of citizens needed accurate, near-real-time fuel pricing information, submitted by fuel stations nationwide, with no tolerance for downtime or incorrect data at this scale.

Challenge

There is no staging environment that fully prepares a team for a system operating at the scale of 69.9 million citizens. The system had to be built right the first time, not discovered through failure.
