Reconciliation is an auxiliary system required in all billing systems. No matter whether used as a primary or secondary payment system, reconciliation is always necessary during or after payment to ensure billing accuracy. TDMQ for Pulsar can guarantee reconciliation timeliness without affecting the critical path of transactions.
TDMQ for Pulsar can be used to solve the problems mentioned above.
Intuitively, to implement reconciliation between different systems, messages can be reported directly to the reconciliation system for reconciliation processing. However, this causes some new problems; for example, many existing and future systems need to be connected, which is time-consuming and intrusive to the system process in the production environment. Obviously, such a design is very unreasonable. You can adopt TDMQ for Pulsar and connect different systems to it in a unified manner, so that failures in an individual system will not affect other services.
Reconciliation requires the aggregation of data from different systems. Under normal circumstances, the data arrival times of different systems don't differ significantly, but the processes between systems are always sequential; therefore, after the data is delayed for one system, to implement data aggregation, you need to control the data read speed and thus prevent a large amount of data from simply waiting in the reconciliation system. The temporary message storage feature of TDMQ for Pulsar makes it possible that data sent at the same time arrives at different systems generally at the same time.
TDMQ for Pulsar provides highly consistent and reliable data storage to ensure that data will never get lost. In addition, it features a high service availability and automatic failover.
TDMQ for Pulsar offers two schemes to implement data replication between regions and serves as a real-time data replication channel for the business layer.
The two cross-region sync schemes are compared as follows:
Cross-region Sync Scheme | Production Duration | Disaster Recovery Performance | Storage Costs |
---|---|---|---|
Cross-region strong consistency | High | High | Low |
Cross-region eventual consistency | Low | Low | High |
By leveraging TDMQ for Pulsar and real-time computing, you can upgrade daily transaction reconciliation to real-time reconciliation, which allows you to check the transaction accuracy more quickly.
