“Technologies like Apache Cassandra and Apache Kafka can be complex to manage efficiently and effectively. Instaclustr abstracts that complexity and helps us to stay focused on building our applications and services.“
— Ken Izumi, VP of Engineering, Paidy
Managing complex data infrastructure
Paidy’s success heavily relied on a seamless, highly performant payment platform. This required a robust infrastructure capable of handling millions of transactions smoothly and efficiently.
However, managing such a complex data infrastructure posed significant challenges:
Self-management complexity
The intricacies of operating Apache Cassandra and Apache Kafka meant diverting critical engineering resources from product innovation to infrastructure management.
Scalability demands
With an expanding user base, scaling while maintaining performance and availability was becoming increasingly challenging.
Leveraging open source for scalability
Instaclustr stepped in to manage Paidy’s data infrastructure, enabling them to focus on core product engineering without being bogged down by backend complexities. Having spoken with some of Instaclustr’s existing clients, they were confident about the company’s capability and experience in managing similar environments and applications.
Here’s how Instaclustr delivered value:
Zero downtime migration
Instaclustr facilitated a seamless migration from self-hosted to a fully managed platform, ensuring uninterrupted service and freeing Paidy’s engineering team from infrastructure concerns.
Scalable event-driven architecture
By leveraging Apache Cassandra for a resilient data store and using Apache Kafka for real-time data streaming, Instaclustr helped design a scalable architecture. This enabled Paidy to decouple services and handle increasing transaction volumes effortlessly.
"The migration from self-hosted to managed by Instaclustr was seamless and ever since that migration we have been able to focus on the core aspects of product engineering, without having to worry about infrastructure management.”
