Diagrid Conductor revolutionizes product development at Ignition Group

Ignition Group is one of the largest technology companies in South Africa, with a mission to empower consumers, entrepreneurs, and organizations to integrate into the digital ecosystem. They specialize in a range of technology solutions, including traditional business process outsourcing, digital marketing, e-commerce, and logistics, to improve the lives of clients in South Africa and all over the world.

A high-scale payment system with Dapr

A core component of Ignition Group's portfolio is their AI-powered Payment System. This system has over 100 microservices running in production on Kubernetes and bills over a million transactions per month. Due to the critical nature of this service, it is extremely important that the system is available and reliable and that the development team can quickly identify and solve problems across the platform.

The Payment System, at its core, depends on open-source Dapr for asynchronous communication with underlying message queues and state management capabilities. Ignition Group has been a user of the Dapr project since its inception in 2019, and it has become an essential part of their business solutions ever since.

It was for this reason they decided to become an early adopter of Diagrid Conductor in 2022, and Dapr, along with Conductor, now operates the entire back end of Ignition Group's sales business, meaning every sale made goes through Dapr and is made visible by Diagrid Conductor.

Reduce strain on enterprise resources

Diagrid Conductor is designed to reduce the resources needed to manage Dapr by giving developers vital insights into their application without having to resort to Ops monitoring tools, as well as keeping them informed on how to apply best practices, prevent misconfigurations, and secure applications from potential threats.
