Peak TPS

Transaction throughput sustained during high-frequency volatility.

99.999%
Production SLA

Zero unscheduled downtime across 8 global regions over 18 months.

-78%
Infrastructure Cost

Saved annually by retiring proprietary legacy mainframe licensing.

THE ARCHITECTURAL CHALLENGE

ApexFin was constrained by a 14-year-old monolithic ledger architecture that suffered 3.2-hour reconciliation delays and high licensing overhead. Cross-border settlement latency was eroding competitive edge.

THE INTACTIC SOLUTION

Intactic deployed an active-active event-sourcing engine built with Go, Apache Kafka, and CockroachDB. We designed zero-loss state synchronization, hybrid HSM cryptographic signing, and automated SOC-2 auditing.

Architecture Deep-Dive
  • CQRS architecture segregating high-throughput writes from low-latency analytical queries.
  • Hardware security module (HSM) automated key rotation via Vault clusters.
  • Automated chaos engineering suites running continuous regression simulations in staging.
Key Deliverables Shipped
  • Event-Driven Microservices Engine
  • Multi-Region Distributed Database Mesh
  • Real-Time Anti-Fraud Scoring Cluster
  • PCI-DSS & ISO-27001 Compliance Pipeline
