LatamWin, one of South America's largest online casinos, had its transactional database — the core of the business — at its limit. We migrated over 1TB of data to PostgreSQL on AWS, reduced latency, and within a year they scaled their player base by more than 300%.
In an online casino, the transactional database isn't just another component — it's the heart of the business. When it fails or degrades, everything fails.
The business core at risk
LatamWin grew fast — too fast for its infrastructure. Its transactional MySQL database, with over 4TB of data, was severely degraded: slow queries, rising latency, and an architecture that could no longer handle the transaction volume of one of South America's largest online casinos. Every extra millisecond of latency is money lost in a business where real-time experience is everything.
Infrastructure holding the business back
The database wasn't designed for the volume LatamWin reached. Without an elastic cloud model, every traffic spike was a real threat to operational continuity — and the business kept growing.
Zero tolerance for downtime
An online casino operates 24/7. There are no convenient maintenance windows, no tolerance for downtime. The migration had to happen without interrupting operations — with over 1TB of data in motion.
We designed an AWS PaaS architecture that gave LatamWin the scale their growth demanded — without stopping operations at any point.
We executed the complete migration of the transactional database — over 1TB of data and all associated files — from MySQL to PostgreSQL on AWS RDS. The process included exhaustive database analysis, query optimization, and architectural improvements that the previous engine couldn't support. All without interrupting casino operations.
We implemented an elastic cloud architecture on AWS with the right services for a high-volume transactional database: EC2 for compute, ELB for load distribution, RDS for the managed database, EFS for shared file storage, and EBS for high-performance block storage. A stack designed to scale automatically with business growth.
The migration wasn't just a lift-and-shift. We used the transition to introduce concrete improvements at the query and database architecture level — benefits the degraded MySQL engine had been blocking. The result was a significant reduction in latency and faster response times for the transactional queries that power every real-time bet.
