ACIワールドワイドとコグニザントは、ACIのカードアクワイアリングおよび発行ソリューションの中核コンポーネントであるBASE24-epsをAmazon Web Services上で共同性能テストした結果を発表した。模擬的な販売時点情報管理の負荷の下で、BASE24-epsは目標トランザクション負荷の2倍以上を30分間にわたって維持し、失敗したトランザクションはゼロだった。テスト全体では460万件を超えるトランザクションを一度の失敗もなく処理した。コグニザントはこのプログラムを非本番環境でエンドツーエンドで実行し、目標アーキテクチャの設計、環境のプロビジョニング、ACIが運用するAWSアカウントを用いたBASE24-epsの展開を担当し、インストールと展開は自動化された。環境はAmazon EC2上でAmazon RDS for PostgreSQLを用いて稼働し、可観測性はOpenTelemetry標準に準拠して計装され、Amazon CloudWatchを通じて監視された。ACIワールドワイドのチーフアーキテクト兼テクニカルフェローであるアジマル・サイード氏は、このテストはBASE24-epsをAWS上で持続的な負荷にさらすものであり、失敗したトランザクションなしに目標を大きく超えて稼働したと述べた。一方、コグニザントのフィンテックおよびペイメント担当ストラテジックビジネスユニット責任者であるニティン・バール氏は、銀行は楽観論ではなく証拠に基づいて決済システムを移行すると述べた。両社は、本番展開はさらなるステップであり、アベイラビリティゾーンをまたぐ耐障害性、フェイルオーバーおよび災害復旧テスト、セキュリティ強化、追加の非機能テスト、決済ネットワークの認定が必要であると指摘した。
