Travel search creates a very different load profile from ordinary SaaS. Blackrock designs cloud systems around high concurrency, third-party dependencies and the need to remain observable under pressure, for travel businesses in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the wider GCC.
Illustrative screen below: suppliers, settings and traffic are examples.
250+ integrations across the travel ecosystem
One search can reach many supplier systems at once, and travel platforms generate a great many external and internal requests. The architecture needs explicit controls, and it has to stay observable while it is under pressure.
Travel platforms generate a great many external and internal requests. The architecture needs explicit controls around each one.
Bring your suppliers, channels and release process. Our engineering team will talk through the architecture that fits.
Modern cloud infrastructure and deployment automation for travel platforms.
Service boundaries and deployment patterns are chosen around real workload and operational needs, not architecture fashion.
Know what is happening before a client reports it.
See the signalsExplicit controls around every external and internal request, from concurrency and timeouts to caching and request tracing.
See the request pathNon-interactive work moves out of the customer request path where possible, for resilience and throughput.
Modern cloud infrastructure and deployment automation for repeatability, resilience and release confidence.
Permissions, credentials, secrets management, network controls, dependency management and operational process: designed in, not added on.
The signals that show how your platform and your suppliers are behaving.
Our engineers and product teams do not begin every project by relearning the basics of travel distribution, so the architecture is designed around how travel actually operates.
The order we work in, from your workload to a release you can be confident in.
We start from your real workload and operational needs, not from an architecture fashion.
Service boundaries, deployment patterns and data stores are picked to fit, from modular services to queues and cache layers.
Explicit controls around concurrency, timeouts, retries, rate limits, circuit breaking and caching, with request tracing across the system.
Deployment automation makes releases repeatable, and logs, metrics and traces show what is happening before a client reports it.
Timelines vary with scope, suppliers and custom work.
No. We choose service boundaries and deployment patterns around your real workload and operational needs rather than architecture fashion. Depending on the workload, that can mean modular services, microservices where justified, asynchronous workers, event and queue processing, cache layers, search and indexing systems, and relational and document data stores.
Suppliers are third-party dependencies, so the architecture needs explicit controls around concurrency, timeout behaviour, retries, rate limits, circuit breaking and caching, with request tracing to show where a request spent its time. Non-interactive work also moves out of the customer request path where possible, which improves resilience and throughput.
Observability covers logs, metrics, traces, supplier performance, queue depth, API errors, latency and infrastructure health, so you know what is happening before a client reports it.
Blackrock works with modern cloud infrastructure and deployment automation to improve repeatability, resilience and release confidence. The deployment pattern is chosen around your real workload and operational needs, and our engineering team can talk it through with you.
Security belongs in the architecture rather than being added afterwards. Permissions, credentials, secrets management, network controls, dependency management and operational process all form part of the design.
It depends on scope, suppliers and custom work. Delivery of the Blackrock platform is hybrid: you configure it yourself while our engineers handle everything specific to your business, and you can go live in 2–6 weeks. Timelines vary with scope, suppliers and custom work.
