The Challenge

Mission-critical single point of failure

A legacy 18TB+ global beneficiary database served as the backbone for critical operations, but represented a catastrophic single point of failure. With no replication strategy, any database outage would bring down all dependent downstream services, affecting millions of users globally.

The challenge was to transform this vulnerable architecture into a highly available, scalable system that could handle massive read loads while maintaining data integrity and eliminating downtime risks for mission-critical operations.
