Case Study: Betfair achieves high-throughput, scalable performance with Couchbase

Betfair processes 30,000 bets per minute with Couchbase

Betfair, one of the world's largest online sports betting providers, needed a high-performance database to handle the complexity of serving over 4 million accounts across 140 countries. After previous solutions like Oracle, Cassandra, and Memcached failed to meet their expectations for scalability and ease of management, they turned to Couchbase Server for a solution.

By implementing Couchbase Server for caching, session management, and personalization, Betfair gained the easy integration, scalability, and consistent high performance they required. The solution from Couchbase enabled them to process over 30,000 bets per minute, achieving a rate of 1 million transactions per second and processing 500,000 events in just three minutes, all while ensuring a responsive experience for their users.
