The Challenge
Juspay, an Indian fintech company, is responsible for over 50 million daily transactions for clients such as Amazon, Google, and Vodafone. As a pioneer in the payments industry, Juspay's mission is to streamline online payments for merchants, acting as an intermediary between payment providers and merchant systems. To ensure a seamless transaction environment, Juspay needed to provide monitoring and analytics services to guarantee the performance of the payment system. With a diverse array of merchants and their ever-evolving needs, Juspay had to keep up with frequent releases, often multiple releases daily. They needed a monitoring solution that would enable them to maintain their rapid release pace while ensuring that the latest release did not impact the running payment systems. Furthermore, Juspay was facing high operating costs with their previous solution, BigQuery from GCP, which was costing over a thousand dollars per day.
About The Customer
Juspay is an Indian fintech company that has established itself as a pioneer in the payments industry. It acts as an intermediary between payment providers and merchant systems, with a mission to streamline online payments for merchants. Juspay handles over 50 million daily transactions for clients such as Amazon, Google, and Vodafone. The company is known for its rapid release pace, often releasing multiple updates daily to keep up with the diverse and ever-evolving needs of its array of merchants. Juspay's commitment to innovation and seamless transaction environments has made it a leader in its field.
The Solution
Juspay selected ClickHouse to power its critical A/B testing and monitoring needs. ClickHouse enables Juspay to compare the success rate percentage between different versions and determine if a newer version is performing poorly. In such cases, a rollback is conducted, which is especially helpful when a new release is expected to improve performance but ends up affecting other services. A traditional relational database was not capable of performing this level of analysis due to the massive volume of data generated by A/B tests. With ClickHouse, Juspay can group by all columns of low cardinality fields, which could amount to up to 10,000 dimensions with 50 million transactions a day. For monitoring and A/B testing, Juspay uses a combination of Kafka, ClickHouse, and Grafana. They monitor active logs and perform transformations in Kafka, before utilizing Kafka queues to transfer data to ClickHouse via the Kafka engine. Juspay also uses ClickHouse to provide their merchants with real-time analytics and a live view of their system performance.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of ClickHouse has allowed Juspay to maintain its rapid release pace while ensuring the stability of its running payment systems. The ability to conduct A/B testing and monitor system performance in real-time has been crucial in making data-driven decisions and providing the best possible experience for its merchants. The switch to ClickHouse has also resulted in significant cost savings, reducing operating expenses by 10 times. Furthermore, the advanced data processing capabilities of ClickHouse have enabled Juspay to handle large volumes of data with impressive efficiency, requiring significantly less infrastructure investment than their previous solution. The use of ClickHouse has not only solved Juspay's challenges but also provided them with a more cost-effective and efficient solution.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Juspay conducts A/B tests across transactions from the last seven days, totaling around 600 gigabytes of data per day, equivalent to approximately 4TB.
  • With ClickHouse, Juspay can group by all columns of low cardinality fields, which could amount to up to 10,000 dimensions with 50 million transactions a day.
  • By switching from BigQuery to ClickHouse, Juspay achieved a 10x cost reduction in operating expenses.
