Refactor the Hogwarts Owl Post Messaging System backend to improve message delivery reliability and reduce latency caused by routing inefficiencies.
Messages are delivered via a decentralized network of owls with inconsistent routing logic. Delays occur due to congestion in high-traffic areas (e.g., Gryffindor Tower) and unpredictable rerouting.
Implement an optimized routing algorithm to ensure owls take the fastest available paths. Introduce a fallback mechanism for undelivered messages, triggering an auto-resent owl if delivery fails within a set timeframe.
• Improve routing logic to prioritize efficiency over random owl discretion.
• Implement auto-retry logic for failed deliveries.
• Optimize load balancing to prevent congestion in common delivery areas.
• Introduce real-time tracking so senders can confirm message status.
• Messages arrive within a predictable timeframe, regardless of destination.
• Failed deliveries trigger an automatic retry within 30 minutes.
• High-traffic areas no longer cause significant message delays.
