Case Study: Nickel ensures reliable payments at scale with Gatling Enterprise Edition

Nickel ensures 3-second payments for 4.5M accounts with Gatling

Nickel, a European payment account provider with millions of users, needed to ensure its systems could handle massive, predictable traffic spikes during social benefit disbursements, when load increases twenty to thirty times. Every transaction still had to complete in under three seconds. Before using Gatling Enterprise Edition, the company had no systematic way to validate its infrastructure performance under these extreme conditions.

By implementing Gatling Enterprise Edition, Nickel gained a centralized solution for performance testing. The vendor's product enabled the company to detect regressions early, provide auditable proof of reliability to regulators, and ensure compliance with internal standards. This transformed their deployment process, making releases of their core banking system stable and seamless, and supported the successful launch of new payment features like Apple Pay and Google Pay.
