Presentation: Serving Millions of Customers Serverless at CapitalOne
Share this on:
Abstract
Serverless technologies are playing an increasingly significant role in modernization efforts at Capital One. In this talk we will share how Capital One migrated customer accounts and transactions to a completely serverless architecture and built a scalable, resilient, and fast Transactions and Accounts platform by leveraging DynamoDB, step-functions, Lambda, and other services within the serverless ecosystem. At Capital One, we also had the opportunity to completely redesign the engine that generates customers' banking statements as part of the bank's modernization journey. In this portion of the talk, we'll share our goals and lessons learned as we built an entirely new solution, which handles everything from the loading of data into Amazon RDS to customer-driven synchronous API calls, using serverless technologies like AWS Lambda and Step Functions. The talk will also cover some of the challenges we faced, lessons learned and some best practices.
