Business Need:
The Business Challenge:
The customer had built a centralized analytics platform to track performance across banking partners, but one critical gap remained.
A key partner bank’s high-volume transaction data was locked inside a legacy Oracle system, creating a data silo that limited visibility and prevented a true single source of truth.
The challenge was compounded by the fact that this system powered a 24×7 live rewards platform, where downtime, data loss, or security compromise was not an option.
The business needed a way to unify this data into its analytics engine – securely and in near real time – without disrupting ongoing transactions or customer experience.
Solution Approach and Implementation: Precision Replication, Built for Scale
Rapyder designed a secure, cloud-native replication pipeline using AWS Database Migration Service to continuously sync Oracle data into the MySQL analytics engine.
What made this work:
- Smart schema transformation to handle Oracle-specific constructs like large VARCHARs and LOBs – without data loss
- TDE-aware replication, ensuring encrypted data stayed protected end-to-end
- Real-time Change Data Capture (CDC) using LogMiner, keeping analytics just seconds behind live transactions
- Performance tuning at peak scale, proactively resizing replication instances and storage to avoid bottlenecks
The migration ran quietly in the background – no outages, no surprises.
Reaping Rewards/Business Transformation:
From Fragmented Data to Real-Time Intelligence
With the new solution in place, the customer is now able to immediately reap tangible business benefits. What was once fragmented and delayed data became a unified, real-time intelligence layer powering everyday decisions.
- A single, centralized analytics platform on Amazon RDS for MySQL, seamlessly integrating data from all partner banks
- Near-zero latency reporting, enabling faster insights, quicker decisions, and greater operational agility
- Complete data accuracy and consistency, ensured through rigorous row-count and checksum validation
- Meaningful cost savings by eliminating reliance on expensive Oracle-based analytics
The transformation went beyond a database upgrade – it changed how the business viewed performance, partners, and opportunities, all in real time.
