Technology
TripBuzz relies on geographical data and uses them to a great extent. The algorithm has been implemented to connect data from the rating system with geo data. This allowed us to provide the best attractions for the given location in the search results.
A sophisticated caching system has been implemented to maintain speed of the search engine with the growing userbase. In order to build the cache we've developed a set of background workers which update the cached data continuously.
