Realtime Platform Architecture

High-concurrency cloud infrastructure linking Flutter mobile apps, Laravel REST APIs, Redis in-memory caches, MySQL ACID ledgers, and low-latency WebSocket gateways.

TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE

API services and realtime communication connect mobile play with platform operations.

The source architecture connects the Flutter mobile client to Laravel backend services through an API layer, with MySQL and Redis in the platform data tier and WebSockets/Pusher supporting realtime multiplayer communication. Payment, notification and administrative surfaces sit around that core.

Core Architectural Specifications

Dual Protocol Strategy

HTTP REST handles stateless transactional workflows (auth, profile updates, payments), while persistent WebSockets manage stateful in-game turn events and room broadcasts.

In-Memory Redis Pub/Sub

Redis provides in-memory queue coordination, tournament lobby caching, and event bus distribution across WebSocket gateway worker nodes.

Relational Ledger Persistence

MySQL maintains relational persistence with transactional consistency for wallet balances, match records, and administrative audit trails.
