Virtual Golf Booking System

Overview

This seeded project represents a booking backend for indoor golf simulator sessions. The system coordinates customer reservations, availability windows, payment state, and operational schedule changes.

Role

Nguyen's representative role is backend engineer responsible for reservation state, API workflows, payment event handling, and safeguards against double booking.

Problem

Availability changes quickly when customers book, cancel, or reschedule sessions. The backend needed to prevent overlapping reservations while keeping payment confirmation and schedule state understandable for staff tools.

Solution

The workflow uses PostgreSQL transactions for reservation state, Redis for short-lived availability holds, and Stripe webhooks for payment confirmation. Reservation statuses make each transition explicit, so staff actions and customer actions share one state model.

Outcome

The seeded system demonstrates clear workflow boundaries, conflict-resistant booking behavior, and payment-state handling that can be tested without tying UI components to provider details.
