TeleCash runs its mobile financial services on
KubeDB with HA and DR
A regulated mobile financial services provider in Bangladesh now runs its core PostgreSQL layer on Kubernetes: a highly available primary cluster at the data center and a live disaster recovery replica at a geographically separate site.

MOBILE FINANCIAL SERVICES
TeleCash Limited
TeleCash operates in the Mobile Financial Services (MFS) arena in Bangladesh, bringing unbanked segments of society into the formal banking channel through financial inclusion. A subsidiary of Southeast Bank PLC, it offers person-to-person and business transfers, bill and merchant payments through Bangla QR, remittance disbursement, and mobile top-up.

From TeleCash requirements to a live deployment
TeleCash asked for an enterprise-grade, cloud-native PostgreSQL platform on Kubernetes, with HA inside the data center and DR at a separate site. This is what is running today.
| Area | TeleCash requirement | |
|---|---|---|
| Core database | Enterprise-grade, cloud-native PostgreSQL on Kubernetes as the core database layer for the MFS platform | |
| High availability | A highly available, self-healing PostgreSQL cluster at the primary data center | |
| Disaster recovery | A replica cluster at a geographically separate site, ready for promotion after a data center level disaster | |
| Support | OEM-backed production support, around the clock, for the full subscription term | |
| Delivery | Design, implementation, and deployment of both clusters |
A financial platform cannot afford a fragile database layer
A regulated mobile financial services platform needed an enterprise-grade PostgreSQL layer on Kubernetes, with HA inside the data center and DR at a separate site.
A core database for money movement
Person-to-person transfers, merchant payments, bill payments, and remittances all depend on one database layer that must stay available.
HA and DR, treated separately
Automated failover inside the primary data center, plus a geographically separate DR site that can be promoted after a site-level disaster.
Regulated, supported, recoverable
Security and recoverability aligned with Bangladesh Bank ICT guidance for MFS operators, backed by OEM production support.
HA at the data center, a live replica at the DR site
AppsCode Ltd. designed and deployed two KubeDB clusters on Kubernetes, one per site, each paired with PgPool connection pooling.
HA primary cluster at the data center
A KubeDB-managed PostgreSQL cluster of 3 instances, fronted by 2 PgPool instances. The data center side totals 208 GiB of memory and 60 cores.
Live DR replica at a separate site
A second KubeDB cluster at a geographically separate site, with 2 PostgreSQL and 2 PgPool instances, continuously replicating from the primary (72 GiB, 24 cores).
Operator-managed lifecycle
The KubeDB operator manages both clusters on Kubernetes, so database operations follow the same declarative model as the rest of the platform.
OEM support and certified delivery
24x7x365 OEM production support is active for the one-year term. Smart Data Technologies Ltd., AppsCode's authorized distributor in Bangladesh, issued a work completion certificate on September 22, 2026.

TeleCash's KubeDB Journey
Requirements and RFP
TeleCash called for an enterprise-grade, cloud-native PostgreSQL platform with HA at the data center and DR at a separate site for its MFS platform.
Design, deployment, and go-live
AppsCode Ltd. designed, implemented, and deployed the DC and DR KubeDB clusters. The project went live and a work completion certificate was issued on September 22, 2026.
Production support
24x7x365 OEM production support is active for the one-year subscription term.
QA environment
A reduced-scale QA environment mirroring production's PostgreSQL and PgPool setup is planned.
Why regulated teams choose KubeDB
Enterprise HA and DR for PostgreSQL, with Kubernetes-native operations and OEM-backed support.
HA and DR in one operating model
A highly available primary cluster and a live replica at a separate site, both managed by the KubeDB operator.
Proven in a regulated industry
Running production workloads for a Bangladesh Bank regulated mobile financial services platform.
Runs on private cloud infrastructure
KubeDB deploys the same way it does on any Kubernetes distribution, so no custom rework was needed.
Need HA and DR for a regulated workload?
Run PostgreSQL on Kubernetes with a highly available primary and a live DR replica, the same pattern TeleCash runs in production.
