"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.
