Case Study: Paytrail achieves fault-tolerant multi-datacenter payment processing with Severalnines MariaDB Galera Cluster

Paytrail - Customer Case Study

Paytrail, a Finnish payment processing company, faced a significant challenge with its aging MySQL master-master replication setup. This system did not tolerate failures well, causing disruptions during outages and creating maintenance problems. With their business depending on absolute uptime for merchants, Paytrail needed a new, robust, and scalable multi-datacenter database architecture that could handle a datacenter failure without requiring a full rewrite of their applications.

Severalnines provided the solution by implementing a MariaDB Galera Cluster configured and deployed using their tools. This provided robust failure management across two datacenters with no application changes required. Using Severalnines' ClusterControl for centralized monitoring, backups, and upgrades, Paytrail achieved a highly secure and fault-tolerant system. The entire migration from evaluation to full production was completed in under four months, ensuring the payment processor's crucial systems remained reliable amidst significant business growth.
