In today's fast-paced technology landscape, organizations face increasing pressure to stay competitive, reduce costs, and deliver high-quality products and services quickly. However, traditional monolithic architectures can be a barrier to innovation and agility, making it difficult to keep up with rapidly evolving market demands. That's where federating COTS comes in.

What is COTS? - Components Of The Shelf refers to pre-built or pre-existing software components that are readily available for use without needing to develop them from scratch. These components can be used to speed up development and reduce costs.

During our talk, we will share Capital One's journey from monoliths to a modular architecture and then transforming them to reusable plug n play COTS at Capital One. We will discuss how we leveraged cloud computing, micro services, and automated pipelines to achieve faster time-to-market, reduced development costs, and enhanced agility and flexibility.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of federating COTS, as well as the practical steps for adopting a modular architecture.
