SafeState uses Aurora DSQL to block recalled product resales in real time
SafeState, built during a hackathon, uses Amazon Aurora DSQL to prevent resale of recalled products by checking serial numbers at checkout. The system leverages multi-region strong consistency to ensure recall data is instantly visible across all regions. A Next.js frontend on Vercel and a conflict-resolution design using safety_guard rows enforce that recalled items are blocked immediately.

The hackathon project demonstrates a practical use case for strong consistency in distributed databases, but production deployment would require addressing regulatory compliance and marketplace integration challenges.
