Micro services for a Billion people
summary
India faces ~70 tonnes/year food wastage with 20–30% lost in the last mile, so a startup builds an ordering platform that evolves from an SMS-based fallback to an Android app backed by micro-services written in Java and cloud infrastructure. The system handles messy, multilingual inventory and uses ElasticSearch indexing and de-duplication to keep payloads small. It serves ~12.8 million retailers, lets teams push changes rapidly, and demonstrably reduces last‑mile spoilage.
