Make All Your Data Real-Time: Lessons from Meesho and Agoda

Every team at consumer scale draws the same line. A thin slice of data is real-time because it has to be, and everything else goes on disk because keeping it hot costs too much. That line is not architecture. It is rationing, and it limits what the product can do.

We walk through three workloads from Meesho & Agoda: what each team was constrained by, what moved, and what became possible once more of the data was live.

Then the architecture underneath. Why single-threaded Redis and Valkey force the tradeoff and what changes when you no longer have to ration your real-time data.
