Round-Robin Assignment Algorithm Implementation

To implement the round-robin assignment algorithm, I've employed two queues: one for storing all available agents and another for storing unassigned tickets.

Flow Control

Agent Registration:

• When a new agent registers on our platform, we save their details in the database.
• We add the agent to the agent queue since they are currently available for handling tickets.

Support Ticket Creation:

• When a user creates a support ticket, we check if there's an available agent in the queue.
• If an agent is available, we assign the ticket to that agent and remove them from the queue.
• If no agent is available, we place the upcoming ticket in the support tickets queue.

Periodic Check (Cron Job):

• Every 40 seconds, a cron job checks the availability of agents in the agent queue and any pending tickets in the support ticket queue.
• If an agent and a ticket are both available, we assign the ticket to the agent and remove both from the queues.

Ticket Resolution:

• If a ticket is resolved, the agent can use an API to mark the ticket as resolved by specifying their ID and the ticket ID.
• We update the statuses of both the ticket and the agent.
• The agent is then added back to the agent queue since they are now available for handling new tickets.

Get Request for Support Ticket Data:

• A GET request retrieves all details of sorted, filtered, and paginated support ticket data.
