Roadblock Title:

Event-driven architecture in payments: Lessons from scaling a digital twin

Time:

Wednesday - 2:00 PM (Tower D)

Abstract:

Building high-performance, scalable financial systems requires more than just robust infrastructure—it demands a deep understanding of topology, messaging, and event-driven architectures. In this session, we’ll explore key architectural decisions when implementing a real-time financial processing system, leveraging event-driven design, Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling (KEDA), and Digital Twin (DTW) architecture.

Key Topics We’ll Cover:

Topology & Infrastructure Sizing
Rethinking API Requests for Speed
Scaling with KEDA: Consumers vs. Producers – Scaling financial transactions is like managing traffic on a highway.
Event Producers & Outbox Pattern

Join us as we break down the real-world challenges and solutions for designing scalable fintech architectures.
