B2B banking platform operations and integrations

The client, a fintech company in England, aimed to provide a B2B banking platform tailored for businesses in South Africa. The primary objectives were to establish seamless integrations with third-party data providers, implement a comprehensive permission matrix, and develop a responsive monitoring system. The client engaged the AppRecode team, consisting of a team lead, a senior engineer, and a middle engineer, to overcome these challenges.

1. Integration with Third-Party Data Providers: Negotiating and establishing connections with numerous banks and data providers to ensure smooth data ingestion and access.
2. Permission Matrix: Designing and implementing a layered permission matrix to ensure secure access control across the platform.
3. Monitoring System: Develop a comprehensive monitoring system with synthetic checks, self-healing triggers, and an efficient on-call support model.

• Sophisticated Monitoring System: The team set up a monitoring system leveraging Prometheus and Grafana. This allowed real-time visibility into the platform’s performance and enabled proactive identification and resolution of issues.
• CI/CD Pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Multiple microservices were deployed using CI/CD pipelines, enabling rapid and reliable software releases. The team also ensured that the entire infrastructure was covered using the IaC approach, providing reproducibility and scalability.
• Automated Third-Party Connections: The team automated establishing connections with third-party data providers, streamlining the integration process and reducing manual effort.
• Notification System: A robust notification system was implemented to promptly alert the support and management teams about critical events and issues.
• Scaled and Resilient Kubernetes Cluster: The team designed and built a highly scalable and resilient Kubernetes cluster to handle the platform’s increasing load and provide high availability.
