Hey DEV community! π
For the past few weeks, I wanted to build something that solves a complex real-world problem. So, I built a complete "SaaS-in-a-box" Bus Reservation platform called Ani Travels.
My main challenge was handling concurrencyβmaking sure two people looking at the same open seat cannot book it simultaneously.
π The Tech Stack
- Frontend: React (Vite) + Tailwind CSS + Framer Motion (Added smooth page transitions and interactive seat mapping).
- Backend: Python FastAPI (I fell in love with how fast and easy the asynchronous execution is).
- Database: MongoDB.
- Real-time Locking: WebSockets! As soon as a user selects a seat, an event is fired and the seat is locked across all active sessions instantly.
π Features Implemented
- Search bus routes and see results dynamically.
- Interactive visual UI for Seat Selection (like MakeMyTrip/Redbus).
- Checkout forms and backend payment processing flow.
- A fully functional Admin Dashboard to add complete routes, assign buses, and monitor all platform bookings.
You can play around with the Live Demo here:

(Since the backend is on Render free tier, please excuse the initial 50-second cold start!)
I am selling the Complete Source Code along with detailed setup instructions if any entrepreneur or dev wants to skip 100+ hours of coding and launch their own startup/project immediately. It comes with seed scripts to populate DB instantly.

Would love to hear constructive feedback! How do you handle complex booking architectures in your apps?
