About Viber
15 billion
calling and messaging events per day
60%
reduction in number of total servers
Challenges
- Accommodate rapid, continuous growth, storing petabytes of data in a data lake
- Process 10 to 15 billion events per day – more than 300,000 events per second
- Implement a database that could provide scalable performance – while reducing the datacenter footprint and minimizing complexity
Outcomes
- Replaced Redis and MongoDB stack with Couchbase
- Reduced total number of servers from 300+ to ~120
- Delivers a responsive experience with real-time user profile updates
- Increased performance with half the database servers on AWS
- Simplified management with a single Couchbase tier
With less than half the servers, we’re able to increase performance and gain a much better, scalable architecture.
