hello have you implemented a payment gateway design before? I'm trying to come with a design myself but I have some questions, I'd like to discuss with someone
Good high level overview overall. You missed explaning how failure scenarios are handled which are also crucial to discuss here IMO. 1. How do you ensure Database and Distributed Queue stay in sync? It can happen that database got updated but not the Distributed Queue. e.g. Payment gateway updates database and before it could write to distributed log queue, the payment gateway instance dies. 2. How do you ensure you get exactly-once semantics from the distributed queue so that you don't double process the same txn? e.g. if Payment processor processes the txn and before it could update distributed queue offset, the instance died. When the new instance of processor comes up, how will it ensure the same txn id is not processed again?
But in CAP theorem, sacrificing P doesn’t make sense as networks are unreliable. We just cannot have CA systems. They would be either CP or AP. In our case, consistency is even more important. So, it should probably be a CP system.
the explanation is good but consistency and availability are 2 conflicting goals. most distributed systems must be designed with partition tolerance as a non-negotiable requirement. This means that during network partitions, the system must continue to operate and serve requests to the best of its ability, even if this results in temporary inconsistencies or reduced availability.
I think we Don't need to create a separate API for each payment methods like upi,e-wallets . Payment gateway will call psp and psp will have routing engine which will route the request depending upon payment methods like cards e-wallet etc. This will help right from beginning I.e from load balancer where loads can be distributed on the basis of payment method id to dB
IMO: 1. There is no xml/json converted to ISO 8583, merchants/acquirers do generate ISO 8583 (POS machines are capable of doing that and only that). They have to onboard with Payment N/w's like visa,MC and continue to inline with spec changes. May be online wesite sends a json internally to a payment service team who converts json from online to ISO 8583. 2. that number you are referring to in card number is called BIN(6 , now first 8 digits of the card) and issuing bank has to buy it and unique globally 3. On Consistency/partition tolerant, usually most of the issuer banks/processors only use RDBMS over NOSQL and can be highly consistent and never allow parallel processing on single card 4. Its rrn/stan is used e2e for tracking but not the transaction id generated by payment gateway
I will not repeat on P part of CAP as there are enough comments already. Other pieces that are not making sense to me are as follows: 1. If the front end fleet moves the request to a queue, the front end service hosts become asynchronous (non-blocking). But they need to reply approve/deny to the caller and that will not work if they put the message in the queue. Because the service that reads from the queue will not have caller's connection to respond back. So I believe that should be a blocking call end to end. 2. Retry logic has flaw. Consider the payment gateway calls the Merchant bank and the host at Merchant bank is super slow and along with that the connection is dropped due to a network glitch. As part of retry, payment gateway will retry with that transaction Id and it goes to another host at Merchant bank that processes it successfully. And now the slow host at Merchant bank also processes the transaction. This can be saved if Merchant bank hosts check for transaction Id and are idempotent.
If Payment Ingestion and Payment Processor services are two different microservices, shouldn't they have acess to different databases? The way you described they're using the same database, is that right?
Hey, one question, I believe there should be only one service that interacts with the DB, if you have two components writing to the DB, it will not centralise the logic in one place. So what i mean is to expose the database via apis. Let me know your thoughts on this.
Question - Payment gateway module if i am not wrong is part of amazon itself i guess.. Which means transaction id is being generated within amazon... how do you force outside services to use that same transaction id ? I am sure issuer bank for example will also generate its transaction id, how do you map these 2 transaction ids.
Payment gateway will be with Amazon but payment gateway will have a payment processing module which is provided by acquiring bank. So the transaction id between Amazon and acquiring bank will be in sync based on contract between payment processing module and gateway. For issuer bank and other middle party involved like visa and MasterCard etc. It will all be standard message like ISO 8583 or other switch message, which will have some tracking field for transaction id, which can be provided by acquiring bank/ Amazon itself
Your understanding of the partition tolerance in the CAP theorem is incorrect. In a distributed system, partitions can’t be avoided. So, while you can discuss a CA distributed system in theory, for all practical purposes, a CA distributed system can’t exist. So, you can't chose consistency and availability over partition tolerance. And if you prefer consistency and availability over partition tolerance, then in case a partition happen (which is normal in distributed systems), the system won't work (thus affecting availability).
Firstly glad to see your comment 🙂, really appreciate your effort and contribution to the tech world. I understand partition is required for any distributed system, may be the explanation was not clear on that part 🙂
Thanks for this video. I have a doubt here about card transactions. In 3D secure payment we have to deal with otp page right. Once authorization is successfull user will be redirected to otp page that redirection happens directly from issuer bank end? Once issuer verifies otp it will respond to card association and card association responds to pg?

Hi Can you also explain how the money is get credit in Merchant account. Is the the issuer bank who's doing the debit and credit both or just Debit and then Payment processor is doing the credit.?
Wouldn't creating partition on the basis of date presents problem of hot partition, considering 10M transactions/day. Can we create partitions on the basis of transactionId, as query based on date will be used in clearing service which is done in background, WDYT? Also there can be a transaction archival service which can move the past day transaction to Cassandra for reducing load on RDBMS.
Regarding archival service you are right, we can can have a service like that to move old data to some history database, type of database will depend of the purpose of archived data. If we want to run some aggregation Cassandra can be good choice. For partition, transaction Id won't be a good choice because there will be too many partitions for your table which will cause a lot of maintenance overhead. A good idea will be to have partition on date and have further subpartition of transaction type for the day or some other key which can distribute the transaction for the day
@@TheTechGranth Thanks for the reply. But wouldn't making partition on date will cause hot partition, as there will be load of around ~10M transactions/day on the single partition only. Instead that load can be distributed across multiple partitions based on transactionId, also there are no such query patterns in the system in which we need to query based on date like in IRCTC or airbnb, except the clearing service(which happens in background). In the real time we would be required to fetch the transaction by txId mostly which can easily be served. Maintainence will always be part of partitioning whatever key we choose, but mainly what drives partition key is the access pattern. Do let me know what you think?
@@uditagrawal6603 that is why is suggested a subpartition, please keep in mind that there will be lot of select query in your application, not just for clearing but also for refund, retry etc. Which happens more than you think. One thing which can be done is, since we are externally generating transaction I'd, we can create sub partition on list of transaction Id for the day. So range partition on date and list partition on transaction Id, so data will be properly distributed. Btw do like the video and subscribe and share with others 🙂
@@TheTechGranth yes but things like retry or refund would also be based on txid only, to be honest I didn't get the reason of storing based on date as I don't get which queries we would be doing based on date? Also it would be helpful ,if you could guide us on partition and sub partitioning. Another query how are we handling hot partitions? Btw series is awesome , I already liked and subscribed 😊

Hi Sir, Can you explain credit card flow with authentication and authorization, url redirection to user for password and how many cycle it takes, is it direct to bank and user or via payment gateway
Hey, Thanks for the video, I didn't understood the retry logic clearly. Suppose for a transaction_id that has failed, we are pushing that id to a failed queue, but how exactly the retry service is picking that up and working on it. Can you please clarify that.
Retry service will just replay the original flow, as if this was the 1st time message was received, only difference being, this service will pick up the message that was put in failed queue
If payment ingestion to the Payment Processor occurs through a distributed queue, what immediate response can the payment ingestion provide to the user? Users expect to see payment success instantly in most applications. Rather than displaying 'payment in progress' and then sending a notification, how can this immediate feedback be managed?
I have the same question, I'm trying to come up with a design where each one would have it's own db but I dont know how to manage the data consistency across them
At ruclips.net/video/NxjGFIgFCbg/видео.html, "Consistency and availability should be chosen over partition tolerance". The video creator is referring to the famous CAP theorem, but he understands it in the wrong way. The CAP theorem states that a system can only have 2 over 3 properties: Consistency, Availability, and Network partition tolerance. And the creator is saying that we should prioritize CA over P. In reality, network partitions in distributed system is unavoidable, making partition tolerance (P) a necessary consideration. Therefore, we can only choose either consistency or availability (CP or AP), but CA is impractical.

You don't sacrifice P, it always and up being AP or CP, or full CAP is you want to sacrifice latency
