QCon is a practitioner-driven conference designed for technical team leads, architects, and project managers who influence software innovation in their teams.

Presentation: "Leapfrogging online payments & burying tech debt"

Track: Finance (Design & Architecture) / Time: Thursday 13:20 - 14:10 / Location: Elizabeth Windsor

Klarna has been in hyper growth since day one and Erlang has helped us scale but we, as all companies growing this fast, have build up tons of technical debt. We got tired of the bloody duct tape and chose to bury the crap while delivering the next generation of online payments as well as a high availability, "no master" real-time transaction engine enabling us to scale horizontally.
