Turkish Airlines - IFE Platform

Event-driven platform for Turkish Airlines’ next-gen aircraft replacing legacy IFE systems. Architected with Kafka event sourcing to satisfy DAL-D aviation compliance, creating immutable audit trails for cabin management, authentication, and device control. Idempotent consumers provide fault tolerance without data inconsistency.

🎯 Overview

Turkish Airlines’ platform manages cabin operations, passenger authentication, content delivery, and seatback device control with full traceability for certification. Event sourcing via Kafka makes compliance auditing a structural property of the system, eliminating manual documentation overhead.

🛠️ Tech Stack

  • C#: .NET ecosystem providing compliance evidence tooling and structured logging infrastructure required for DAL-D traceability.
  • Kafka: Event sourcing backbone with immutable, ordered event logs providing audit trails without additional documentation.
  • Go: High-performance seatback device communication handling low-latency bidirectional control messages efficiently.
  • AWS: Observable, fault-tolerant infrastructure with CloudWatch and X-Ray observability layers.

📈 Key Features

  • Event-sourced architecture generating DAL-D compliance audit trails structurally
  • Idempotent event consumers enabling fault tolerance without data inconsistency
  • Low-latency seatback device control via Go-based communication services
  • Immutable, timestamped event logs for all cabin state changes
  • Observable microservices mesh with distributed tracing
