For large financial institutions, it can be extremely hard to predict when your architecture may need to scale to process millions of financial transactions per day. HSBC addressed this challenge by integrating its on-premises mainframe with AWS services such as AWS Lambda, Amazon Kinesis, and Amazon DynamoDB. This integration enables the bank to engage in real time with millions of retail banking customers in a more personal, dynamic, and useful way. The bank applies business logic to its transaction data, and it harnesses the information it gleans to communicate directly with customers through a messaging platform that runs on AWS. In this session, we share an architecture pattern that demonstrates how retail banks can add value by investing in their legacy system when integrating streaming data from on-premises systems to an event-driven, serverless architecture at scale.
