The Business Challenge
- Organizing large amounts of program information
- Ensuring mobile usability for field-side access
- Maintaining fast load times with media-heavy content
Technical Decisions & Trade-offs
- Monolithic CMS Architecture: Deployed a monolithic CMS with page-caching configurations rather than a headless frontend stack to keep administration simple. The trade-off of slightly higher server processing latency was mitigated using CDN optimizations.
- Database Catalog Indexing: Used relational database-level indexing for simple catalog lookups. Accepted the trade-off of higher memory usage on database nodes to avoid the operational complexity of integrating an external search engine.
Engineering Deliverables
- Program and event listings
- Informational pages for players and families
- Mobile-friendly layouts for on-the-go access
- Easy content updates for schedules and announcements
Operational Lessons & Insights
- Deadlock Mitigation: Discovered that database queries during concurrent updates must execute in sequential order using transaction blocks to prevent locking issues.
- Schema Drift Control: Established strict migrations scripts checks to verify database schema consistency across staging and production environments.
