I call dibs!
Dibs is a websocket server built on top of socket.io which main purpose is to handle internal tools real time front end features.
At first, Dibs is a proposed solution to ops team's problem that they need to eliminate racing condition when two or more ops accidentally do the same action to a booking, e.g. rebook, refund, etc.
Other possible solution is to handle the racing condition on backend, by doing the rejection on API call, on a simple action that would be pretty harmless, but on an action that needs a large form to be filled first to be submitted, that would be gruesome since ops will see their action is rejected only after they wasted a large amount of time filling the form.
But other needs of websocket on internal tools is always welcomed, e.g. live monitoring of urgent bookings, notification when there is a new urgent booking, etc.
Currently Dibs simply records a single pageVisitorInfo object containing a map of webpages that connects to Dibs and the webpage's window.location and the client's visitTimestamp. This pageVisitorInfo object will be transmitted to all connected clients (not utilizing namespace as of now) on every client connection/disconnection/navigation.
10.30: Ops A goes to https://ebitool.traveloka.com/transaction-detail?id=309208537 to rebook the problematic booking
10.31: Ops A clicks the rebook button
10.32: Unknowingly, Ops B also goes to https://ebitool.traveloka.com/transaction-detail?id=309208537 to do rebook
10.32: Both on Ops A and Ops B's screen will appear a popup that notifies that there are also other people currently viewing the page (later this can be improved maybe by disabling the rebook button on Ops B)
