Use case typeCloud migrationUpdated Jun 28, 2026

PT Astra Financial (Indonesia) is a rapidly growing retail financial services provider with 11 business units. It needed a secure, reliable cloud-native platform to support big-data applications that were running on Cloudera, consolidate and analyze data across business units, launch the Moxa multi-finance mobile app, and meet local compliance and data security requirements. The company used Alibaba Cloud across multiple phases, including ECS for performance testing, Container Service for Kubernetes, CDN, OSS, ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL, WAF, multi-zone RDS, and Log Service for API Gateway log monitoring, dashboards, and alerts.
