The Challenge

A music streaming platform struggling with payment fragmentation and traffic peaks

TopMusic needed a unified payment backend supporting three separate providers (MangoPay, Google Pay, and Apple Pay) while maintaining stability during peak-traffic events such as artist releases and promotions. Each provider had different APIs, error patterns, and reconciliation requirements, making a consistent payment experience nearly impossible without a proper abstraction layer.

Our Approach

Event-driven architecture with multi-provider payment abstraction

1

Django/Python Backend

Built a robust Python/Django backend with clean separation of concerns between business logic, payment processing, and data persistence.

2

Payment Abstraction Layer

Created a unified payment abstraction layer that normalized the different APIs of MangoPay, Google Pay, and Apple Pay into a single internal interface.

3

Docker Containerization

Containerized the entire application stack with Docker for consistent deployments across environments and simplified horizontal scaling.

4

AWS Auto-Scaling Infrastructure

Configured AWS with Kubernetes-based auto-scaling to handle 2x traffic peaks without manual intervention or service degradation.

The Solution

A resilient, multi-provider payment infrastructure built for scale

The unified payment backend gave TopMusic a single, consistent payment experience across all three providers, eliminating reconciliation headaches and reducing failed transaction rates. The containerized, auto-scaling infrastructure confidently handled peak traffic events that previously caused outages.
