Monzo - Architecting a Bank from Zero

Hello folks,

Well, just what we all need, yet another technology meetup event in an already packed November schedule. But we think this one is a little bit special, if we may say so ourselves...

Monzo (https://monzo.com/) are coming to Belfast for one night only to give a talk on how they built a bank from a standing start. Basically it will be a night of full-on distributed systems magic with Matt Heath, one of Monzo's core engineers, going into the gory technical details of how they architected the bank through a mix of standing on shoulders and innovation.

If you are working with microservices, containers, or at scale, and you can only attend one talk this late autumn, then this is the talk. Oh, and Citi have also promised us a speaker on the same topic, to be confirmed soon.

We'll follow shortly with a full synopsis for both talks, but we just wanted to get the date (28th November) in your diaries.

This event is being co-sponsored by Monzo and Instil, and will take place in the Black Box on Hill Street. There will be some light (healthy) food and refreshments as per usual.
