ProcessOut, a payment orchestration platform founded in 2015, aims to transform payments into a growth driver for businesses by offering smart routing, analytics, payment vaulting solutions, and more, enabling merchants to connect with multiple payment service providers and expand into new markets without accruing technical debt. The company recently transitioned from an Elasticsearch-based data architecture to ClickHouse Cloud to modernize its stack, improve performance, and reduce costs, resulting in a two-thirds decrease in analytics expenses. ClickHouse Cloud's simplicity, scalability, and SQL-based system have facilitated faster data ingestion and easier experimentation, allowing ProcessOut's team to iterate quickly and enhance their payment optimization tools. The platform now supports richer analytics, enabling the integration of multiple data sources to provide deeper insights into payment processes, aligning with ProcessOut's mission to simplify payments and empower brands to leverage them as a superpower for growth.
