Razorpay Engineering

Overview

Razorpay is one of India's largest payment gateways, and operates against a uniquely bursty traffic shape because Indian payment volume is dominated by a handful of mega-events like IPL matches and flash sales that can 10x baseline load in minutes. The blog's most useful content covers three areas: cost-engineering case studies with hard dollar numbers including a 2 million dollar data-platform reduction and a Kubernetes optimization that saved 300 thousand, real-time denormalized streaming pipelines built to keep merchant dashboards consistent under load, and authentication and notification services tuned for payment-grade tail latency. For interviews, 'Handling Burst Traffic During IPL' is a vivid case study in capacity planning, and 'Razorpay's Real-Time Denormalized Data Streaming Platform' is a reference for streaming materialized views.
