The Challenge
A rapidly growing payment processor serving 200+ merchants across Scandinavia was struggling with their on-premise infrastructure. Peak transaction volumes caused system slowdowns during critical shopping periods, compliance audits were increasingly complex, and the infrastructure team spent 60% of their time on maintenance rather than innovation. With Black Friday approaching, they needed a solution fast.
Our Solution
We executed a phased cloud migration to AWS over 4 months, prioritizing the payment processing core. The new architecture featured auto-scaling Kubernetes clusters, multi-region failover, and PCI-DSS compliant infrastructure-as-code. We implemented blue-green deployments allowing the team to ship updates during business hours without risk. A comprehensive monitoring stack provided real-time visibility into transaction flows.
Results Achieved
- 55% reduction in infrastructure costs (from €47K to €21K monthly)
- 99.995% uptime achieved (up from 99.2%)
- Peak capacity increased 10x without performance degradation
- Deployment frequency improved from bi-weekly to 12x daily
- Successfully processed €2.3M in transactions on Black Friday with zero incidents
- PCI-DSS Level 1 recertification completed 3 months ahead of schedule
Technologies Used
“Cloudrix didn't just migrate our infrastructure - they transformed how we operate. We went from dreading high-traffic periods to confidently scaling for them. The team's payment industry expertise meant they understood our compliance requirements without lengthy explanations. Six months later, our engineering team is finally building features instead of fighting fires.”
