This is a significant part of GoTo's broader data migration initiative - one of the largest and most complex cloud relocations ever undertaken in Southeast Asia. Executed under cross-border, and multi-cloud conditions, the migration involved more than 1,000 microservices.

The migration utilized cutting edge migration technology, enabling the seamless transfer of live systems between Tencent Cloud's Data Centers and servers. It also included robust database tooling capabilities, supporting more than 10 types of database with features such as efficient data replication, disaster recovery, and rollback, ensuring resilience and continuity at scale. Tencent Cloud expanded its infrastructure in Indonesia to support the migration, increasing its Jakarta region from two to three availability zones. The third data center is now fully operational, further strengthening the nation's cloud capabilities.
