Do you think that offering fast and reliable services is absolutely crucial for end user satisfaction? Does your organization have the challenge of building services that perform well even when components inevitably fail? Would you like those services to have fast access to the data they need by leveraging scalable and fault-tolerant technologies? 

Then this session is for you. As with many companies, FI faces the challenge of providing robust, reliable services to its end users while maintaining high performance and availability – a challenge made ever more interesting by the high levels of regulation in Germany’s financial services market. 

Today, the rather unique architecture of Hazelcast on FI’s platform provides user-facing applications with fast and reliable data access, but this is the result of an evolution – one that saw various iterations, each one not only reflecting the need to account for shifting requirements, but also embodying the “lessons learned” of the previous iteration. 

Join us, therefore, as we uncover the various iterations of Hazelcast’s architecture on FI’s platform, showing the properties, pros and cons of each, and outlining the path to today’s architecture. We share how our “lessons learned” impacted architecture decisions and tell you about the best practices we gathered along the way, so you can take with you the things that will likely work for you, too – while avoiding those that probably won't. 

Questions we answer in this session: 

• Who is Finanz Informatik and what do they offer? 
• What challenges do financial services companies face today and how does FI conquer them? 
• What architectural choices did FI make for their Hazelcast setup, how has their architecture changed over time, and why? 
• What are some best practices for building adaptable data platforms that FI has learned during their journey? 
• How does Hazelcast’s unified real-time data platform assist in addressing the shifting market needs?
