Tencent Cloud and GoTo Complete Groundbreaking Migration of GoTo’s On-Demand Services

Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology leader Tencent, and GoTo Group, Indonesia’s largest digital ecosystem, have announced the successful migration of GoTo’s On-Demand Services systems to Tencent Cloud’s local data centre in Jakarta, Indonesia. 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. Despite its complexity, the migration was completed in just 4 hours and 54 minutes, over an hour ahead of schedule.

For over an eight-month preparation period, engineering teams from both companies engaged in intensive research, rigorous testing, and close collaboration. Leveraging more than 50 Tencent Cloud products—including Cloud Virtual Machine, Cloud Block Storage, Web Application Firewall, Tencent Kubernetes Engine, and Elasticsearch Service—the teams carried out detailed rehearsals and optimisations to ensure a smooth and secure transition.

The migration utilised cutting edge migration technology, enabling the seamless transfer of live systems between Tencent Cloud’s data centres 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 centre is now fully operational, further strengthening the nation’s cloud capabilities. GoTo also took the opportunity to re-architect parts of its foundation platform, laying a stronger foundation for future growth.

Patrick Walujo, CEO of GoTo Group, said: “By working closely with Tencent Cloud to strengthen our local infrastructure, we are able to deliver a reliable experience for our users and build a more scalable platform, while supporting Indonesia’s data sovereignty commitments. We are grateful to Tencent Cloud for their strong support and partnership throughout this complex process.”

Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President of Tencent Cloud International, added: “We are honoured to have completed this landmark project with GoTo. By expanding our infrastructure in Indonesia and supporting GoTo’s engineering teams with advanced cloud technologies, we enabled a secure transition. We’re proud to support GoTo as they scale their services and reinforce data sovereignty through local cloud solutions.”
