SumUp Scales for Success with a Data Mesh Built on Confluent Cloud
This case study highlights how fintech company SumUp transitioned from a startup to a scaleup, serving over 4 million businesses with payment solutions. As the company grew, its data became siloed, hindering innovation. To address this, SumUp adopted Confluent Cloud and data mesh principles, enabling decentralized, self-service data access and improving innovation, data quality, and decision-making. This new architecture allowed more than 20 teams to utilize real-time data for analytics, fraud detection, and personalized recommendations. SumUp now focuses on scaling globally and leveraging advanced tools like ksqlDB for further growth.
