Indonesia-based GoTo Group has successfully migrated its GoTo Financial’s infrastructure to Alibaba Cloud’s data centres in Jakarta.
GoTo Financial is the group’s digital finance arm and the company behind Indonesia’s popular payment solution, GoPay.
This milestone marks a key achievement in the strategic partnership formed in September 2024 and represents a critical component of one of Indonesia’s most complex and large-scale cloud migration projects.
It also supports Indonesia’s data sovereignty goals, with all data held within the country’s borders.
The move to Alibaba Cloud’s secure, high-performance infrastructure is expected to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve service efficiency for millions of GoPay users.
GoTo Financial currently supports seamless digital payments for over 20 million monthly transacting users.
Patrick Walujo, GoTo Group CEO, said that by completing this migration with Alibaba Cloud, they’ve strengthened the core infrastructure that underpins GoTo Financial’s services.
“The transition also reinforces our commitment to Indonesia’s data sovereignty, with all data being held within Indonesia. As a result of this, our Company is now well positioned for the future as we continue to support millions of Indonesians with trusted, homegrown financial solutions,” said Walujo.
The project involved transferring GoTo Financial’s core applications to Alibaba Cloud, making it one of the most technically demanding digital infrastructure projects in the country.
With over 20 million monthly transacting users, GoTo Financial demands extremely high system stability and the ability to handle a large number of concurrent transactions.
To ensure a smooth migration, the Alibaba Cloud and GoTo teams worked closely in developing a full-stack technical solution, ensuring business continuity and a seamless, non-disruptive user experience.
During the migration, Alibaba Cloud provided a comprehensive suite of products, leveraging proprietary tools including Landing Zone and Terraform to enable GoTo to achieve 100% Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployment, building a stable foundation for thousands of microservices.
The two teams adopted a “dual-core” architecture to gradually migrate the traffic to Alibaba Cloud, accomplishing a seamless migration with zero user impact.
Additionally, Alibaba Cloud’s three data centres in Indonesia, along with products from computing, container, database, networking, and security, provided robust support for GoTo in building a highly automated, secure, and reliable cloud infrastructure with optimal cost efficiency.
