Expert messaging support for a global payments platform processing 2,500 transactions per second

PagoNXT (Financial Technology)

AceMQ provided ongoing support for PagoNXT's high-throughput payments infrastructure running Kafka and RabbitMQ at 2,500 transactions per second, including load testing validation and architecture optimization.

Overview

PagoNXT is a global fintech company processing high-volume payments at 2,500 transactions per second across a messaging stack that includes both Kafka and RabbitMQ. AceMQ provides ongoing L3 support and architecture guidance for their messaging infrastructure.

Challenge

At 2,500 TPS, even small configuration issues or performance bottlenecks in the messaging layer can cascade into payment processing delays. PagoNXT needed expert support covering both Kafka and RabbitMQ with rapid incident response and architecture guidance as transaction volumes continue to grow.

Environment

Cloud / Kubernetes; Kafka for event streaming; RabbitMQ for transactional messaging; 2,500+ TPS production workload; global fintech payments.

Approach

AceMQ delivers ongoing L3 support with direct engineer access, covering both Kafka and RabbitMQ. The engagement includes reactive incident support, proactive performance reviews, and architecture advisory as PagoNXT scales their payments platform.

Solution

  1. L3 support agreement covering Kafka and RabbitMQ under a unified SLA
  2. Load testing support and validation for 2,500+ TPS throughput
  3. Proactive performance monitoring and capacity planning
  4. Architecture advisory for scaling beyond current transaction volumes
  5. Cross-technology incident support for issues at the Kafka–RabbitMQ boundary

Outcome

PagoNXT operates their high-throughput payments infrastructure with AceMQ as their messaging expert, enabling rapid incident response and continuous architecture improvement to support growing transaction volumes.
