Execution & Architecture
Context
Guards were writing down license plates by hand, causing traffic jams and lost money.
The Challenge
Connecting live video cameras to the payment system without any lag or mistakes.
Scale
100,000+ cars, multiple locations.
Strategy & Safety
Constraints
- No double-booking
- Live video sync
- Perfect money tracking
Key Tradeoffs
- Blocked bookings if overloaded to prevent errors.
- Focused on standard features over fancy camera tricks.
Structural Decisions
Spot locking
Used a strict lock system so two cars can never book the same spot.
One camera rule
Created one standard way to talk to any brand of camera.
