Summary

In the financial services sector, legacy institutions face growing competition from fintech companies that offer personalized products at lower costs. Fintech innovation is largely driven by the ability to access and harness new forms of data. However, as this data grows in volume and variety, it becomes more complex to manage. To address these challenges, BR-DGE, a payments technology company, selected Couchbase Server on AWS due to its proven track record providing fintech companies with flexibility, automation, and speed. Couchbase captures and stores vast volumes of sensitive financial data in near real-time with high availability and scalability, enabling BR-DGE's platform to guarantee a user-friendly end-to-end payment experience for e-commerce websites. The platform uses a microservices architecture with multiple data centers running in multiple clouds, ensuring data security and performance through cross-data center replication and a specific data retention policy. This setup provides merchants with a modular solution offering connectivity to over 100 payment providers and 200 alternative payment methods, resulting in benefits such as 6%+ of revenue recaptured through failover transaction recovery and an 88% faster time to market with new integrations.
