1. The Challenge & Problem Statement

Hapgain's existing legacy PHP payment gateway struggled during high-volume flash sales, experiencing transaction timeouts and security compliance bottlenecks.

We re-architected the payment engine into a distributed Node.js + Go microservices ecosystem with PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance, automated tokenization, and multi-acquiring bank failover.

3. System Architecture & Topology

Event-driven architecture utilizing Apache Kafka for transaction queueing, Node.js worker pools, Redis cluster for session locks, and encrypted PostgreSQL shards on AWS.
