TPFx is a leading financial technology company specializing in high-frequency trading platforms and innovative trading solutions for clients across Southeast Asia. It is dedicated to providing a secure, reliable, and lightning-fast trading experience driven by continuous innovation and digital transformation, helping clients to trade faster and confidently.

With the increasing demand for mobile trading, TPFx needed to launch a next-generation mobile app capable of handling up to 150,000 connections per minute without compromising speed, security, or availability.

The company needed a cloud partner that could ensure:

● Seamless scalability during high trading volume,
● End-to-end security for sensitive financial transactions,
● High availability with zero downtime,
● Quick and secure data access across multiple zones.

TPFx chose Alibaba Cloud for its proven expertise in supporting high-frequency financial operations, its enterprise-grade security features, and its established local presence in Indonesia through the Jakarta Region. This combination of technical depth and regional expertise made Alibaba Cloud the trusted partner to support TPFx’s ambitious growth.

The deployed solution leverages Alibaba Cloud’s robust ecosystem, designed to meet TPFx’s critical requirements for performance, security, and reliability.

The key elements of the architecture consist of the following:

● Multi-Layered Security: Alibaba Cloud’s Anti-DDoS, Web Application Firewall (WAF), and Security Center established a secure perimeter to protect against threats and ensure regulatory compliance.

● Highly Available Application Layer: The application layer leverages Alibaba Cloud Application Load Balancer (ALB) and Auto Scaling for high availability and fault tolerance.

● High-Performance Database & Caching: Distributed databases ensure data consistency and availability across failure domains.

● Tair (Redis® OSS-Compatible) Cluster delivers ultra-fast in-memory caching for real-time transaction speed.

● ElasticSearch Cluster accelerates scalable search operations.

● Comprehensive Monitoring & Logging: Services like Cloud Monitor, OSS, and Simple Log Service enable proactive monitoring, auditing and rapid troubleshooting.

By adopting Alibaba Cloud, TPFx achieved measurable business outcomes:

● Ultra-Fast User Experience: Supports up to 150,000 connections per minute, scaling seamlessly even during the peak trading hours.

● Uninterrupted Trading: Multi-zone deployment and auto-scaling ensure high availability and business continuity, even during unexpected traffic surges.

● Enhanced Security & Compliance: Multi-layered security solutions safeguard customer assets and confidential data.

● Agile Development & Deployment: Accelerates innovation and reduces time-to-market for new features.

TPFx is preparing the next phase of its cloud journey by modernizing its architecture with containerization and microservices with Alibaba Cloud. This transition will enable faster application deployment, easier scaling, and better fault isolation.

By leveraging Alibaba Cloud Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) and microservices frameworks, TPFx aims to accelerate feature delivery for its mobile trading app, reduce operational overhead, and ensure high performance even during extreme trading peaks. This cloud-native approach positions TPFx for long-term agility, innovation, and competitive advantage in the financial trading industry.
