Challenges Faced by a Growing Payment Technology Firm

The client experienced rapid growth, doubling employee count within a year, which led to significant challenges in ensuring system reliability, scalability, and efficiency in transaction processing and event management. They required a high throughput, low latency infrastructure capable of handling thousands of messages per second, along with a unified, reliable API interface for their core payment products.

About the Client

A rapidly growing financial technology company specializing in digital payments and transaction processing seeking scalable real-time systems and reliable payment interfaces.

Project Goals for Scalable Event Management and Payment API Platform

  • Design and develop a scalable real-time event management system capable of processing high-volume events with low latency, supporting thousands of messages per second.
  • Implement a highly reliable, scalable, and unified API interface for core payment services to enhance client integrations and transaction reliability.
  • Ensure system robustness with minimal downtime, supporting rapid deployment and scaling of additional instances as needed.
  • Reduce onboarding risks for technical staff by utilizing a robust, well-documented software architecture based on functional programming principles.

Core Functionality Requirements for Real-Time Event Processing and API Interface

  • Real-time event ingestion and processing engine supporting thousands of messages per second with low latency.
  • Scalable architecture allowing quick deployment of additional instances without memory or synchronization issues.
  • Unified API for payment product interactions, ensuring high reliability and performance.
  • Support for complex algorithm implementation for event handling and transaction verification.
  • Comprehensive documentation and robust code quality to minimize bugs and facilitate maintenance.
  • Communication channels for direct client interactions and API management.

Technology Stack and Architectural Approaches

Akka Streams for scalable, asynchronous event processing
Scala as the primary programming language for robustness and functional programming benefits
Microservices architecture to facilitate deployment and scaling

Essential External System Integrations

  • External messaging and event processing systems for high-throughput data ingestion
  • Payment transaction databases for verification and processing
  • Client-facing APIs for transaction and event management

Performance, Scalability, and Reliability Expectations

  • Support processing of thousands of events per second with minimal delay
  • System uptime of 99.999% to ensure continuous operation
  • Ability to deploy additional instances rapidly in response to load increases
  • Low incidence of bugs and system errors due to high code quality and comprehensive documentation

Expected Business Impact of the Project

The implementation of a scalable real-time event management system combined with a reliable unified payment API interface will enable the client to handle increased transaction volumes efficiently, reduce system downtime, and improve overall transaction reliability. This will support sustained growth, enhance client satisfaction, and reduce operational risks associated with high-volume payment processing.
