Subastas La Silla
Live bidding for world-class equestrian auctions, with international buyers and high-value horses.
// 01The challenge
La Silla's show-jumping auctions gather buyers from several countries bidding live on high-value horses. The platform had to hold over a thousand concurrent users with bids synced to the second with the livestream — going down mid-sale was not an option.
// 02The solution
- [+]Real-time bidding over WebSockets (Django Channels) with Redis as the sync layer.
- [+]Nuxt frontend optimized to follow the auction and bid from any device.
- [+]YouTube livestream integrated into the bidding room.
- [+]Automated bid notifications and email campaigns orchestrated with n8n.
- [+]AWS infrastructure sized for live-auction traffic spikes.
