Finvu Built Disaster Recovery for Better Compliance and Resilience

Business Opportunity

Enabling Seamless Disaster Recovery

Finvu is an Indian fintech leader, providing secure financial data access through its account aggregator platform. They enable individuals and businesses to manage and share financial data across accounts, enhancing decision-making and customer experiences in banking, insurance, lending, and wealth management.

Finvu wanted to implement a disaster recovery solution for better compliance and infrastructure resilience. To achieve this, they partnered with Niveus Solutions to build a staging environment and DR setup on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The project involved building a landing zone on GCP, replicating their database, and implementing their directory service replication.

The Challenge

For DR setup, the replication of data presented significant challenges, due to the nature of the data, which required seamless handling. Addressing these complexities involved designing specialized solutions to ensure seamless integration of their directory service replication and efficient database replication on the Google Cloud Platform.

Our Solution

Niveus implemented an Enterprise Landing Zone on Google Cloud, establishing a secure and scalable foundation. We set up both staging and disaster recovery (DR) environments, tackling each aspect methodically. Infrastructure CI/CD pipelines were built to streamline deployment processes, while the Enterprise Landing Zone provided a robust cloud environment for Finvu’s operations.

After completing the staging setup, applications and databases were migrated to Google Cloud, with validations ensuring that applications functioned as expected post-replication. Following this, the DR setup was configured, with applications and databases migrated to the DR environment. Finally, a DR drill was conducted to test and confirm that the requested industry-standard Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) were met, ensuring a secure, resilient cloud infrastructure for Finvu.

Niveus created a DR runbook, conducted handover sessions, and provided thorough documentation to ensure seamless knowledge transfer and clear guidelines for all teams involved in the DR process. We set up monitoring and alerting for infrastructure and application availability, as well as database replication latency, to quickly flag any issues that could affect RTO and RPO, ensuring proactive incident management.

Results

• Successful RTO/RPO Compliance: Achieved the target Recovery Time Objective (RTO)/Recovery Point Objective (RPO), ensuring rapid system restoration and minimal operational disruption during DR scenarios.
• Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Automated infrastructure creation through CI/CD pipelines, significantly improved operational efficiency, enabling faster deployment and easier maintenance.
• Minimal Downtime Replication: Conducted multiple proof-of-concept tests for replicating client’s directory service replication, and load balancer traffic splitting, reducing risks and ensuring seamless production transitions with minimal downtime and no outages.
• Extensive Testing for Reliability: Performed comprehensive platform and application testing, including a canary release to DR, while load balancing between GCP and on-prem, ensuring the DR cutover was successful and issue-free.
• Enhanced Customer Satisfaction (CSAT): Improved CSAT scores by delivering a resilient, highly available, and secure infrastructure, meeting client’s business continuity and performance expectations.
