Overview

Full-text search across article archive
Technical Challenges
01Editorial workflow flexibility
Different publications needed different approval chains without code changes.
Solution →Built a configurable workflow engine where stage definitions and transition rules are stored in the database and evaluated at runtime.
02Scheduled publishing reliability
Cron-based scheduling missed publishes during server restarts.
Solution →Migrated to a persistent job queue with at-least-once delivery guarantees and idempotent publish handlers.
