Highly Available Multi-Region Architecture for a National Insurance Institution
Sector: Insurance | Scale: National | Cloud: Azure Multi-Region
The Operational Challenge
Ensure uninterrupted availability and mathematical consistency of data for the billing and policy systems of a national insurance ecosystem.
Architectural Solution (Ficentia Approach)
Active-Active Resilience: Design of a Multi-Region Cloud topology in an Active-Active schema, ensuring that the failure of an entire data center is imperceptible to the end user.
Data Consistency: Implementation of Multi-Master schemas in distributed databases (Cosmos DB).
Asynchronous Messaging: Orchestration of robust synchronization patterns and Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) management to prevent any transactional loss.
Business Impact
Assurance of Business Continuity (BCP) against disasters, protecting the institution’s financial flow and guaranteeing a Recovery Time Objective (RTO) of minutes.
Key Technology Stack
- Azure Multi-Region (Active-Active topology)
- Azure Cosmos DB (Multi-Master replication)
- Azure Service Bus with Dead Letter Queue (DLQ)
- Distributed synchronization patterns
- RTO: minutes | RPO: seconds
