Challenge

A FinTech firm needed to rapidly ship multiple products, without compromising on privacy, scale, or cross-product integration.

The Problem with the Status Quo

A fast-growing FinTech needed to bring new products to market quickly including a credit card, while meeting stringent US data privacy regulations. Ideas2IT designed a microservices-based architecture on AWS, implemented a DevOps pipeline with AppDynamics, and ensured scalability, security, and observability from day one. The outcome: faster launches, seamless integrations, and 20% YoY revenue growth.

Where the Gaps Were

The client, a FinTech innovator in the US, had big plans but lacked the infrastructure to execute at speed.

They needed to:

  • Launch a new credit card product
  • Integrate multiple financial services
  • Meet US state-level privacy laws
  • Establish CI/CD for faster, safer deployments

Their legacy systems couldn’t support the scale, agility, or compliance required for modern FinTech growth.

What We Delivered

Ideas2IT deployed a cross-functional pod of AWS-certified architects, FinTech domain experts, and DevOps engineers to replatform the client’s core systems.

We implemented:

  • AWS RDS for scalable, secure data storage
  • AWS Lambda for serverless, event-driven compute
  • Amazon EC2 for configurable infrastructure
  • Amazon S3 for fault-tolerant object storage
  • AppDynamics for real-time observability and monitoring

A microservices architecture enabled independent service deployments, fast rollback, and API-based integrations.

We also embedded a mature DevOps pipeline with CI/CD automation, compliance guardrails, and performance observability, turning deployments from bottlenecks into business enablers.

Outcomes We Achieved

20% YoY Revenue Growth
 New product rollouts and better engineering velocity translated directly into top-line growth.

Credit Card Product Successfully Launched
 End-to-end implementation of a secure, compliant credit product, live in production.

Unified Financial Product Experience
 Microservices and APIs enabled seamless integration across services.

Compliance Built-In
 State-specific privacy, encryption, audit logging, and secure deployments baked into the stack.

Key Lessons

  • Microservices + DevOps = speed with safety.
  • Cloud-native is table stakes for FinTech.
  • You can build fast and stay compliant if you design for it.
  • Observability is acceleration.
