Workshop Title:

Build Your Own Bank With ISO 20022 Playset

Time:

Wednesday - 10:30 AM (Tower A)

Abstract:

Building distributed systems is hard. Building distributed systems that move actual money is terrifying. If you’ve ever lost sleep over double-charges, dropped transactions, or trying to manually unpick a failed payment saga, this workshop is for you.

We’re going to get hands-on with Temporal, an open source durable workflow platform. We are going to tackle the specific nightmares fintech devs face. I’ll walk you through building a fault-tolerant payment flow, handling complex retries without double-booking, and ensuring your ledger stays perfectly consistent even when the downstream banking API inevitably times out. Bring your laptop. We’re going to build a payment orchestrator that actually lets you sleep on a Friday night.
