The Challenge
EQ Bank needed to respond rapidly to changing market demands but was held back by a monolithic on-premise infrastructure. Scaling for peak loads was expensive and slow, and deploying new features required risky, infrequent releases. They aimed to become a truly agile, cloud-first digital bank.
Our Solution
We executed a strategic "strangler fig" migration pattern to decompose the monolith into microservices without disrupting operations.
Cloud Migration
Re-platformed core banking services to AWS, utilizing managed services (RDS, ElastiCache) for high availability.
Microservices Architecture
Decoupled huge monoliths into independently deployable Java Spring Boot services running on Kubernetes (EKS).
DevSecOps
Implemented a fully automated CI/CD pipeline with embedded security scanning, enabling multiple deployments per day.
The Outcome
The transformation enabled EQ Bank to handle 10x the transaction volume during peak seasons without a hitch. Reliability improved to 99.99%, and the time-to-market for new banking features dropped from months to weeks.
