Intro
After early product-market fit, the company's MVP struggled under rapid user growth and increasing transaction volume.
Investors and customers expected bank-grade reliability, but the existing monolith could not scale safely.
The Problem
Peak traffic caused latency spikes and incident response consumed engineering capacity.
Feature delivery slowed because every release risked destabilizing core payment flows.
The team lacked observability and deployment practices needed for regulated financial services.

The engagement delivered:
- ✦Event-driven architecture for payments and account lifecycle
