Distributed Package Locker Mesh
Design a backend for a global network of 200,000 automated delivery lockers used by multiple courier companies. A locker may lose internet connectivity for hours, yet must still allow customers to pick up packages via pre-issued codes. When online, the system must prevent double-booking of locker slots across different courier platforms and provide real-time availability maps to logistics dispatchers.
