Summary

Aurora Payments has built a payment acquiring solution using CockroachDB on Kubernetes. The company aims to ensure that small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) receive payments quickly and with low fees by integrating with their point of sale technology and business management software. They chose CockroachDB for its always-on, always-available feature, strong consistency, Kubernetes compatibility, and horizontal scaling capabilities. The company's architecture includes front-end React, back-end .Net Core C#, and a database using CockroachDB (with some workloads still migrating from Postgres). By choosing CockroachDB, Aurora Payments has removed the database as a bottleneck for performance or availability, giving them a competitive advantage in the financial services industry.
