Motivation

To deliver a scalable and resilient banking platform tailored for SMEs. The goal was to support high-load financial operations, improve system flexibility, enhance reporting capabilities, and ensure uninterrupted service during critical financial periods.

Main Challenges

Challenge 1
Transition from Monolith to Microservices

The legacy monolithic architecture limited flexibility and scalability. Azati led the migration to a microservices-based structure, significantly enhancing modularity and performance.

Challenge 2
Ensuring Stability and 24/7 Availability

The system had to maintain high availability and reliability, especially during peak times such as tax periods and holidays. Load testing and incident response processes were established to ensure readiness.

Challenge 3
Handling Growing Payment Volumes

The system scaled from processing 10,000 payments per month to over 1 million per day. Performance optimization and architecture redesign were key to supporting this growth.

Key Features

  • Multichannel Payment Support: Creation of payment orders and requests through various channels, supporting business clients with flexible financial tools.
  • Account and Card Information: Display of real-time account balances, card data, and transaction history.
  • Dynamic Reporting: Generation and printing of reports in multiple formats for internal and regulatory use.
  • Microservices Architecture: Refactored system to microservices, improving scalability, deployment flexibility, and fault isolation.
  • High-Performance Messaging: Integrated messaging systems with Apache Kafka and MQ solutions to ensure asynchronous communication and reliable transaction processing.
  • Production Monitoring and Support: 24/7 support with active incident handling and pre-release load testing to ensure stability in high-load scenarios.

Our Approach

Team Leadership and Sprint Management
As a Team Lead, Azati’s specialist was responsible for sprint planning, task distribution, and technical supervision across the team of 5 developers, 2 QA engineers, 2 PMs, and 1 architect.
Development and Performance Optimization
Led development of new features, maintained and refactored legacy code, and performed deep system optimizations to meet performance targets.
Code and Requirements Review
Ensured code quality and alignment with business needs through code reviews and requirements validation.
Client Communication and Incident Response
Direct interaction with the client for issue resolution in production and support during mission-critical situations.
Collaborative Architecture Design
Worked closely with the system architect to define scalable solutions shared across multiple development teams.

Project Impact

Successful Microservice Migration: Transitioned from monolithic to microservice architecture, increasing system scalability and deployment efficiency.

Enhanced Stability and Uptime: Improved system resilience, reduced production incidents, and ensured uninterrupted financial services.

High-Load Readiness: Prepared the system for peak seasons, enabling smooth operation during high-traffic periods like tax payouts.

Accelerated Development Cycle: Streamlined development and testing workflows, reducing release times and improving delivery speed.

Massive Throughput Growth: Scaled the system from 10,000 monthly payments to over 1 million daily, showcasing robust architectural evolution.

Technological Modernization: Migrated the system to Java 17 and replaced foreign software with domestic alternatives, aligning with import substitution initiatives.
