Banking customers are evolving faster than ever, and to keep pace, technology must transform. The modern banking experience must become seamless, nearly invisible, while still upholding the highest security standards. Customers expect frictionless interactions, personalized services, and real-time decision-making, requiring banks to rethink their entire digital infrastructure. Large financial institutions are reaping immense benefits from digitalization. The convergence of siloed structured and unstructured data enables deep customer insights, helping create tailored financial experiences. This shift is fueled by AI-driven analytics, real-time data processing, and intelligent automation, making banking not just transactional but context-aware. However, this evolution is not just about adopting cutting-edge technology, it is about rethinking banking itself. Empathy-led innovation is now at the core, ensuring that technology aligns with the holistic needs of customers, rather than just optimizing legacy financial workflows. Key Takeaways Invisible yet Secure Banking – Creating frictionless, personalized customer experiences without compromising on security. Context is King – The power of real-time data engineering to drive personalized financial services.

Designing Microservices

22 Apr 2025, 11:00 GMT+05:30

Venkat Subramaniam

How does designing microservices differ from designing more traditional applications? What is a better way to learn than to take a problem, analyze the requirements, explore the design options, apply the concepts of bounded context, and arrive at the architecture and design of microservices to realize the requirements? Come to this presentation to get practical insights to navigate from requirements all the way to a workable solution, and along the way, learn about different architectural goals and approaches that can help with design. Target Audience: This session is primarily aimed at Software Architects, as it focuses on the architectural challenges and principles behind designing microservices, including bounded contexts and modular design. Back-end Developers are a secondary audience, as they are responsible for implementing microservices and can benefit from understanding how design choices influence scalability, maintainability, and performance. Additionally, OpsTech Professionals will find value in learning how microservices impact operational aspects such as deployment, orchestration, and resilience in distributed environments.

From Domain Driven Design (DDD) to Delivery

22 Apr 2025, 11:00 GMT+05:30

Daniel Hinojosa

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) has been guiding large development projects since 2003, when Eric Evans’ seminal book was released. DDD is divided into two parts: Strategic and Tactical. One common issue is that the strategic part can become so involved that we lose focus on implementation. This presentation focuses on bridging strategy with implementation, exploring topics in pairs. For instance, when creating a bounded context, is it a microservice or part of a subdomain? When we create a domain event, how is it transformed into something actionable? And how do other tactical patterns fit into what we decide in the strategic phase? In this presentation, we will break these ideas down into pairs of topics: Subdomains to Architecture Boundaries Where do Microservices fit in? Where does DataMesh fit in? How do subdomains and bounded contexts fit in? What is shared kernel technology-wise? Is it a library or a service? Where do we put human beings in all this? What can we afford to do? What kind of technology shopping list are we looking at? Target Audience: This session is primarily aimed at Software Architects, as it focuses on applying Domain-Driven Design principles to align strategic goals with real-world implementations, particularly in relation to microservices and bounded contexts. Back-end Developers are the secondary audience, as they work closely with implementing DDD concepts and patterns in code and can benefit from understanding how tactical decisions align with strategic DDD principles. DataTech Professionals may also find value in discussions around DataMesh and how it fits within the DDD context.
