Case Study: Esdiac cuts infrastructure costs by 65% with Akka

Esdiac cuts infrastructure costs by 65% with Akka

Esdiac, an international calling provider, aimed to offer affordable communications to the African diaspora and global users in areas with limited digital infrastructure. Their initial architecture, however, stalled at just 5,000 customers, and every new user significantly increased their infrastructure costs. To overcome this growth ceiling, they partnered with vendor Akka to rebuild their distributed communications and payments network on the Akka platform.

By implementing Akka, Esdiac gained a scalable foundation that handled clustering and resilience automatically. The solution dramatically reduced their infrastructure costs by 65% while enabling them to support tens of thousands of users across 400+ cities. Akka provided the scale to grow orders of magnitude beyond their previous limit and accelerated their speed to production for new features.
