Case Study: Dojo expands scalable payment processing with Aiven for Apache Kafka

Dojo Expands its Payment Processing Business with Aiven for Apache Kafka®

Dojo, a rapidly growing UK financial services company, needed a reliable way to unify data across multiple clouds, databases, and teams as it expanded its payment processing business across Europe. With strict requirements for speed, resilience, governance, GDPR, and PCI compliance, the company struggled with the complexity of managing data from many sources while avoiding vendor lock-in.

To solve this, Dojo implemented Aiven for Apache Kafka® as the core of its new data streaming platform, alongside managed open-source tools like Kafka Connect and schema registry. With Aiven, Dojo gained real-time data synchronization, stronger governance, improved disaster recovery, and the agility to launch new services faster; its systems now support more than 35 million transactions a week and data-driven use cases such as analytics, AI, business funding, and churn prediction.
