Case Study: CoralPay achieves 99.99% uptime with Severalnines ClusterControl

CoralPay achieves 99.99% uptime with Severalnines ClusterControl

CoralPay, a Nigerian Tier-1 payments switch, faced challenges with unpredictable database operations across their on-premises MySQL Galera and MariaDB clusters. Their siloed operations led to reporting jobs competing with payment traffic, slow manual recoveries, and fragmented visibility, creating significant SLA risks. To address this, they adopted Severalnines ClusterControl to gain a unified control plane for automation and observability.

By implementing Severalnines ClusterControl, CoralPay automated failover, managed replicas for read offload, and gained end-to-end cluster visibility. The solution delivered measurable results, including 99.99% availability, zero replica lag, and a leaner operational model. This allowed their small team to handle peak loads of 45 TPS without adding senior DBA headcount, significantly reducing both risk and operational burden.
