Real-Time Online Auction Platform

Live bidding over WebSockets with anti-sniping extensions and history

3-4 weeks build

Overview

Sellers list an item with a reserve price, bid increment and end time, and an admin approves it. Bids are sent over WebSockets and validated on the server one at a time per auction, so a bid must beat the current highest by the increment and only one can win a race. A bid in the last minute pushes the end time back to stop sniping, and every bid is kept in an append-only history.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Live bidding pushed to every watcher over WebSockets
  • 02Server-side bid validation serialised per auction so races resolve cleanly
  • 03Anti-sniping rule that extends the end time on late bids
  • 04Reserve prices, minimum increments and optional proxy bidding
  • 05Append-only bid history and a winner notification when the auction closes
