Case Study: Tencent achieves high-consistency, high-availability billing at scale with StreamNative Apache Pulsar

Powering Tencent Billing Platform with Apache Pulsar

Tencent used Apache Pulsar from StreamNative to support its Midas billing platform, where the team needed a highly consistent, highly available message queue to handle billions of daily transactions, long RPC chains, transaction retries, and real-time reconciliation across many payment channels and business flows.

StreamNative helped Tencent adopt and enhance Pulsar with delayed message delivery, secondary tags, improved message tracking, and stronger monitoring and alerting. The solution enabled Tencent to process tens of billions of transactions during peak periods, maintain 99.999% availability, and improve data consistency, recovery, and operational efficiency for billing and transaction processing.
