The build
Why, and how.
The problem
High-demand products sell out in seconds. Users needed a system faster than humanly possible to detect and notify them of restocks across hundreds of sites simultaneously.
What I built
Engineered a high-concurrency scraping engine capable of monitoring thousands of SKUs in real-time, delivering alerts to Discord via webhooks with sub-second latency.
Under the hood
Restocktime runs on a distributed cluster of Python-based scraper nodes managed by Kubernetes. We use Redis for high-speed caching and message brokering to ensure that a product detection event triggers a Discord webhook notification in under 200ms. The system employs sophisticated TLS fingerprinting randomization to bypass Cloudflare and Akamai bot protections, ensuring uninterrupted monitoring of target retailers.
Search
While primarily a community-driven SaaS, we optimized the public-facing landing page for "sneaker monitor" and "restock alerts" keywords. We created a blog section detailing "How to Cop" guides, which drives top-of-funnel traffic. High-quality backlinks from sneaker news sites and YouTube influencers have solidified the domain authority.
How it was built

- Implemented redundant monitoring nodes for high availability
- Created custom Discord bot for community engagement
What came of it
- Operating continuously for over 7 years
- Processed millions of successful notifications
- Built a loyal, paying community of nearly 9,000 members
- Zero critical downtime during major product launches
