Case Study: Form3 achieves 6x lower latency and multi-cloud resilience with Synadia and NATS

Form3 cuts payment latency 6x with Synadia

Form3, a cloud payment processing platform, faced challenges with its AWS-based infrastructure, including high latency from SQS queues and insufficient uptime SLAs. These issues stressed their platform as it grew and prevented them from meeting customer requirements. They needed a multi-cloud capable, low-latency, and highly resilient messaging solution to support their critical payment infrastructure.

Synadia provided its NATS.io messaging platform, which Form3 implemented to replace its legacy systems. The solution drastically decreased average message latency from 300ms to 50ms, a sixfold improvement. It also enabled a multi-cloud, active/active architecture for higher uptimes, improved developer productivity, and delivered higher messaging throughput on a smaller cloud footprint.
