Client requirement

Truck-4 needed a microservices marketplace for commercial rentals — OTP auth, truck management, secure file uploads, third-party maps/email, compliance tooling, and Kubernetes-ready scale.

Challenges & solutions

What we inherited, and exactly how each constraint was resolved.

  • Challenge

    Dependent microservices needed reliable communication without tanking response times.

    Solution

    We used REST APIs plus async messaging with RabbitMQ between services.

  • Challenge

    Uploaded files risked malware that could crash servers or corrupt data.

    Solution

    We scan uploads in real time with ClamAV before they are accepted.

  • Challenge

    The platform had to scale services and data as demand grew.

    Solution

    We ran services on Kubernetes for independent deploy and demand-based scaling.

  • Challenge

    Auth had to stay fast and trustworthy when upstream pieces failed.

    Solution

    We added fallbacks and monitoring so verification stays available during disruptions.

  • Challenge

    Integration testing across many services needed early failure detection.

    Solution

    We used SonarQube and Azure DevOps CI pipelines to catch issues across the lifecycle.

  • Challenge

    Deploying many services onto Kubernetes clusters was operationally heavy.

    Solution

    We automated deploys with Azure DevOps and Helm charts for repeatable releases.

  • Challenge

    Latency and uneven performance missed response-rate targets.

    Solution

    We added caching, query optimization, and profiling to remove bottlenecks.

  • Challenge

    Keeping data consistent across services was complex under load.

    Solution

    We used eventual consistency patterns and distributed transactions where needed.

Key features

Microservices architecture

Independently deployable services for auth, trucks, uploads, and related domains.

Authentication with Twilio

OTP verification and access control via Twilio for trusted sign-in.

File scanning with ClamAV

Malware scanning on uploads before they hit storage or processing.

Third-party integrations

Google Maps for location/routes and SendGrid for transactional email.

Regulatory compliance management

Tracking for driver qualifications and vehicle inspections with automated alerts.

Results

Code, security, and process work improved overall platform performance.

Lower latency and higher reliability improved day-to-day user experience.

Auth, service isolation, and ClamAV scanning strengthened the security posture.

Automated deploy and Kubernetes scaling cut ops cost and raised throughput.

Better UX and trust supported stronger retention in the rental marketplace.
