Case Study: Westpay reduces man hours and boosts database performance with Severalnines ClusterControl

Westpay - Customer Case Study

Westpay, a Sweden-based provider of transaction and payment solutions, faced significant challenges in managing the availability and performance of its write-intensive, multi-database infrastructure. Their rapid growth resulted in hundreds of thousands of daily transactions, forcing their team to spend countless hours on manual performance tweaking and reactive fixes, which occasionally led to outages. They sought an enterprise-grade database management system to help them scale without this administrative burden and turned to Severalnines for a solution.

By implementing Severalnines' ClusterControl, Westpay automated key database management tasks, including performance monitoring, alerts, and high availability failover. The solution provided an easy-to-use interface for orchestration and delivered instant performance notifications with corrective advice. As a result, Severalnines saved the operations team valuable man hours, reduced database node rebuilds from hours to just minutes, and ensured high uptime and optimal performance for their critical payment processing systems.
