MATRIXX Digital Commerce Platform (DCP) Partner Validated

The MATRIXX Technology Core is what enables the transformative capabilities of our commerce platform. With innovations in business rule execution, transaction processing, data management and clustering, the MATRIXX Technology Core provides the market agility and operational scalability critical to digital-first operating environments.

A non-blocking database with ground-breaking low latency and 100x the throughput of traditional relational databases, but with the full transactional integrity lacking in NoSql and web-scale datastores. To achieve ACID compliance with this efficiency, the database removes the massive processing costs of data locking, deadlock detection and lock escalation, and instead applies a patented algorithm to avoid transactional collisions and guarantee a precise answer every time with nearly zero overhead. Database reads and writes complete in nanoseconds, and transactions commit in microseconds. The database architecture also ensures that all data required to process an event is available in local memory, eliminating the unpredictable and expensive network hops associated with other distributed databases.

A new transaction management approach that supports fully parallel data access without compromising transactional integrity. The solution eliminates virtually all transactional interference at any scale by supporting completely parallel updates to “high velocity” data such as balances and meters. The overall outcome is consistently super-low latency (<10-millisecond average API request-to-response) end-to-end across all use cases. The system is not sensitive to business logic complexity or total throughput, and predictably handles even the most complex use cases such as balances shared across a large enterprise.

A high-speed decision engine for business rule execution that operates predictably and consistently across complex, multi-variant decision processing scenarios (rating, policy, GL account assignment, offer prioritization, etc.). Traditional decision engines have use cases coded or scripted into them using serially processed conditional logic (IF-THEN-ELSE statements). Additional coding/scripting to implement new use cases is often required, resulting in poor, and worse, unpredictable, performance due to the inefficiency of executing this type of workflow on modern processors.

An entirely new, patented approach to local clustering and geo-redundancy, legacy lock-based transaction control requires that each piece of data in the database is owned by one of the servers in the cluster. Ownership can be distributed across the cluster for different sets of data; however, to support locking, only one server can initiate an update to a given piece of data. The impact is extremely unpredictable overhead and latency for complex transactions like rating, where many pieces of data are accessed and updated. As a result, locks may end up distributed across multiple servers. MATRIXX leverages non-locking database technology to instead create a cluster of atomically synchronized servers in an all-master configuration. Any event can be fully processed by any server, and all the data required is locally available for instant access. 

The MATRIXX Technology Core is the proprietary high-speed decision engine and in-memory database that enables the transformative capabilities of our commerce platform. Its patented decision-table architecture enables a click-not-code capability, eliminating the need for custom development to support new business requirements. Its high-speed decision engine has a redesigned transaction processing model that eradicates performance bottlenecks so that every customer interaction is instant and precise. Its in-memory database puts an end to data silos, providing a single source of truth for all customer and partner channels. With innovations in business rule execution, transaction processing and data management, the MATRIXX Technology Core provides the market agility and operational scalability critical to digital-first operating environments.
