Design of a High-Concurrency Virtual Item Trading System
Meipai’s virtual‑item trading system, built to support over 100,000 daily live streams and millions of concurrent viewers, must process tens of thousands of requests per second while guaranteeing strong data consistency and high availability, and this talk by technical director Guo Chenhui explains the key design choices and trade‑offs employed.
Meipai generates over 100,000 live streams per day, creating massive volumes of virtual item transactions. During star live streams (e.g., TFBoys), concurrent viewers can reach the million‑level, putting extreme pressure on the transaction system.
The virtual‑item trading system is a core component of Meipai’s commercialization platform, supporting live‑streaming services. It must handle tens of thousands of concurrent requests per second, ensure strong data consistency under high load, and maintain high availability.
This presentation shares the design decisions and trade‑offs made by Meipai when building a high‑concurrency item trading system.
