Kotak Securities handles 4x traffic with WSO2 API Manager

Kotak Securities, a major Indian stock brokerage and subsidiary of Kotak Mahindra Bank, faced the challenge of upgrading and securely exposing the API layer for its high-volume online trading platform. They needed a solution that could handle a 4x increase in concurrent traffic during peak hours, support WebSocket APIs, and provide a secure API marketplace. To address this, they turned to vendor WSO2 and its WSO2 API Manager product.

WSO2 implemented its API Manager to create an auto-scalable, highly available platform deployed on AWS. The solution provided a secure API marketplace, comprehensive lifecycle management, and near real-time analytics. As a result, Kotak Securities successfully achieved its primary goal, securely exposing its trading platform and seamlessly scaling to handle a 4x increase in traffic during peak market hours, ensuring stability for its web and mobile applications.
