Summary

A large financial services institution evaluated and adopted YugabyteDB's transactional xCluster capabilities to achieve business continuity for its critical applications, ensuring uninterrupted operation and safeguarding sensitive data. The company leveraged xCluster's asynchronous replication across two fault domains (data centers or cloud regions) to provide reduced write latency and a two-data-center option, aligning with their deployment model. The institution defined clear testing cases with corresponding success criteria and executed them effectively, utilizing the Yugabyte team's runbook for efficient test case execution. After conducting rigorous testing, including high availability testing, load and stress testing, and comprehensive documentation, the bank confirmed that YugabyteDB exceeded their expectations, meeting and exceeding their requirements for scalability, reliability, and a superior customer experience.
