I am currently in the process of building a online auction website with similar features like in Mytokuri.in / Bidderboy.com
. My website is complete around 90% complete. I face an obstacle of creating or building an auto bidding system handled at the server, since auto bidding has to happen even if the user is logged out or in hibernate . The auto bidding will run upto a given threshold limit and end automatically. I thought of using queues to achieve it. When I am going to use queues there are some difficulties and issues in the application that i feel in it, I have the following scenario
- 'N' products with 'N' bidders and 'N' auto bidding jobs , One job for one product
I planned to create a job in laravel and run it if not already exists, and make the job to bid for the user for given threshold limit. I want to know is it efficient or is there any better solution is there to implement auto bidding
