Challenges we ran into
Technical Challenges in Developing Orphic
1. AI Inference Reliability
Challenge: Unstable internet connections dramatically impacted AI model inference, creating significant bottlenecks in early development stages.
Solution:
- Implemented robust error handling and retry mechanisms
- Developed local caching strategies for AI model responses
- Created fallback inference pipelines to minimize connection dependency
- Optimized AI model lightweight versions for reduced bandwidth requirements
2. WebSocket Performance Optimization
Challenge: Achieving near-zero latency for real-time battle interactions, critical for maintaining seamless gameplay experience.
Solution:
- Leveraged WebSocket protocol with advanced connection management
- Implemented connection pooling and persistent socket connections
- Developed custom protocol for minimizing packet overhead
- Used binary data transmission instead of JSON for reduced network load
- Integrated WebSocket load testing to validate performance thresholds
3. Telegram Mini-App Integration Complexity
Challenge: Initially planned comprehensive Telegram mini-app integration, ultimately deciding to pivot and simplify the approach.
Solution:
- Conducted thorough architectural review of mini-app constraints
- Redesigned bot interaction to focus on core functionality
- Developed modular bot service with clear separation of concerns
- Created flexible integration layer allowing future expansion
Key Learnings
- Resilience in technical design is crucial
- Always have multiple fallback strategies
- Performance optimization requires continuous iteration
- User experience trumps over-complicated technical implementations
The challenges transformed our initial concept, ultimately leading to a more robust and focused product design.
