Challenges

As UPTX continues to experience rapid growth in both trading options and user base, the company is seeking a strategic partner capable of fully supporting its business expansion. UPTX aims to continuously enhance platform performance, ensuring a secure and robust trading experience for users worldwide. However, the company faces several key challenges:

Data Management

Millions of users make it challenging to store and manage vast amounts of data. Traditional databases are failing in capacity and speed, impacting performance and user experience.

High Concurrency

Their platform must be extremely scalable to serve higher loads while maintaining stable. Real-time data delivery and smooth transactions are their lifeline.

Seamless Migration

Cloud migration might disrupt business continuity and system stability. It is essential to minimize risks and avoid interruptions.

Operational Management

To serve 24/7, the platform needs efficient, automated operations. Manual operations without automated monitoring, fault diagnosis, and system optimization no longer suffices.

Global and Local Services

A global user base requires not only consistent services across regions but also localization according to specific requirements. This demands robust global infrastructure support to ensure that users anywhere receive tailor-made services.

Solutions

Cloud-native Database GaussDB (For MySQL)

Supporting high concurrency, GaussDB(For MySQL) is 100% compatible with the MySQL ecosystem and performs seven times faster than open-source databases, and 40% faster than peer products.

Distributed Cache Service (DCS)

Fully compatible with open-source Redis, DCS speeds up data access and ensures business operations without interruptions.

CCE Turbo

CCE Turbo features scaling in a flash, provisioning 4,000 pods in just 30 seconds. High concurrency and large volumes of transactions are no more headaches.

Full-stack Elastic Trading Platform Architecture

This architecture was built using ELB, CCE, DCS, and GaussDB. The vertical system is highly elastic, while the horizontal business architecture is decoupled and scalable. The four layers from entry, application, middleware to database are 100% cloud native.

Global and Local Infrastructure and Services

Global infrastructure and services supports customer innovation while optimizing costs. The wide variety of public cloud services are ready to use, scalable, and underpin future business innovation. Huawei Cloud’s global public cloud network supports business expansion to hotspot regions.

Local and Global Service Teams

A 24/7 support system is provided by local and global teams. The cloud native O&M system has replaced the previously self-built O&M model.

Customer Benefits

The migration to Huawei Cloud fully elevated UPTX Exchange's performance in serving 1 million daily active users:

Components such as Redis, databases, and RocketMQ were upgraded and optimized to deliver a QPS as high as 200,000 and a TPS of 30,000.

Ultra-low Latency

In primary-secondary switchovers, database latency was reduced to 3-5 milliseconds, a 7-fold improvement.

Full-stack Elastic and Optimal Architecture

The platform scales in seconds while saving over 30% in costs.

Complete Cloud Migration and Go-live in 60 Days

In just 60 days, their platform was reborn, thanks to automated migration tools that ensure uninterrupted business and stable post-migration operations.
