Have you ever wondered what it takes to create resilient and highly available platform services that support mission-critical software systems? Please join me to find out how you can set the right strategy and foundational architecture for building platform services that businesses can trust for their most critical workloads.

Payment systems that support real-time transaction processing are expected to be highly available and highly responsive 24/7/365. These systems must be fault-tolerant and resilient to any failures that might happen during payment transaction processing.
Mission-critical payment systems with distributed architecture often depend on platform services like distributed caching, messaging, event streaming, databases, etc. that should be independently designed for high availability and fault tolerance.
In this talk, I’ll share the approach we took for architecting and designing platform services within the payments domain that can be applied to any domain that supports business-critical processes. This methodological approach starts with establishing a capability view for platform services and then defining the implementation and physical views. You’ll also gain an understanding of other aspects of platform services like provisioning, security, observability, testing, and automation that are important for creating a well-rounded platform strategy supporting business-critical systems.

In this talk, I’ll share my experience of architecting and building platform services that support critical real-time payment systems. The concepts shared during the talk will help the audience apply learnings when designing systems for high availability and resiliency.
