Talk 1 - The Glue Solutions, CTO Danny Goovaerts

"How to lead in digitized banking: a new platform"

Banks are facing the challenge to take on a new role in the digital economy. Their existing systems are not geared up to this task, yet it is not possible to replace them. The Glue is a next digital integration layer empowering banks to quickly design, develop, test and deploy new event driven business services where the final fulfilment is still performed by in the legacy system. GridGain in-memory data fabric is an essential component of The Glue. It provides the powerful infrastructure to store all the new data entities created by the new services and acts as a high speed in memory data cache for backend data.

In this talk, we elaborate on some of the specific aspects of The Glue in its use of GridGain :

• exactly once processing of events

• business services as atomic unit of deployment and rolling upgrades

• shielding the developer from the underlying technicalities

• banking grade NFRs

At The Glue we are guided by a vision to build a solution that is both innovative and pragmatic in solving the exciting challenges at play in the banking industry, now and tomorrow. We believe that it is possible to make exceptional achievements when a team is driven by common principles, leveraging on experience and expertise. Years back, technology was lagging behind on business models. Today, it’s the other way round, technology is front running. We are passionate about using that technology leap to foster the success and growth of our clients.

Danny Goovaerts is CTO of The Glue. Danny has more than 20 years of experience in analysis, design and delivery of advanced software solutions, mainly in the financial services industry (clearing and settlement, retail banking, asset management, SWIFT connectivity,...). He was the head of the architecture and development teams for several software products for data access, messaging and connectivity. He strongly advocates that non-functional requirements have to be handled as first-class citizens.

One of his guiding principles is : "Find a solution for your problem, not vice versa".
