Digital Transformation

Sector:
Finance

The client was undertaking a digital transformation project to create a unified payments experience to safely and easily move money between accounts and products.

Orchestrating the integration of many discrete systems led the client to microservices and event based communication, an architectural pattern and technology set that they were not familiar with.

The challenge was to bring the team up-to speed with best practices for implementing an  Event Driven Architecture utilising Kafka.

How Lydtech Helped

The Lydtech team worked in Architectural and Development capacities, embedded within the engineering team to advise on and deliver the client's requirements to the highest standard.

Architectural Reviews - Reviewed the architecture for points of failure and areas of concern, provided mitigation strategies and alternatives where necessary, advised on technology choices and how these impact the resilience and complexity of the system.

Messaging Expertise - Educated and guided the client in their adoption of micro services with Kafka. 

Outcomes
  • Key architectural changes identified and implemented enabling a robust and resilient system.
  • Comprehensive testing harness implemented to provide high quality assurance.
  • Successful continuous deployment of new system to Production.
