Global Payments shares their implementation of Cloud SQL Enterprise Plus across three Google Cloud regions to achieve 99.99% uptime for payment processing systems. The architecture uses multi-zone HA configurations with synchronous replication, delivering near-zero planned downtime, sub-minute RTO, and zero RPO. The deployment spans Cloud SQL for SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL, integrated with GKE for application tiers. Results include 60% reduction in operational overhead, streamlined disaster recovery testing, and consistent performance through read/write separation while maintaining PCI DSS and GDPR compliance.
