Challenges Deploying Modern Real-Time Payment Systems on Traditional RDBMS
summary
At a large payments operator processing about 50 million transactions/day (and claiming up to 3 billion digital payments monthly and 20,000+ TPS in labs), traditional RDBMS on VMware shows 5,000 active sessions, response spikes from 150 ms to 200–300 ms, and RTOs of 30–60 minutes with manual backups. Migration to YugabyteDB yields linear horizontal scale, raft-based cross-site replication, built-in sharding, YSQL/YCQL and CDC, and reports reduced latency, automatic failover and easier cloud migration.
