Ultra Voucher: ACK-led modernization and ApsaraDB RDS to accelerate transaction processing during peak events

Ultra Voucher, an Indonesia-based digital voucher and rewards/loyalty platform, modernized its infrastructure on Alibaba Cloud using Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) and ApsaraDB RDS. The company faced severe performance limitations during promotional campaigns, holidays, and double-date events, which caused slow voucher redemption, delayed transaction processing, and occasional outages. The modernization moved the platform from a tightly coupled monolithic setup to a modular, microservices-driven ecosystem designed for scalability, resilience, and disaster recovery.
