Faster, Cheaper, Greener: Pick Three
In this talk, I will share the journey we took at FundApps to build a more sustainable future for our planet, and our business, by rearchitecting the core of our platform from a self-hosted, long-lived, single-process application to a cloud-native, distributed architecture in AWS.
FundApps provides compliance as a service to the investment management industry. Monitoring over 15% of the global AuM for shareholding disclosure every day. Four years ago, we were at the stage where our core service was not working optimally for a significant number of our clients. Clients experienced unpredictable runtimes, slow runtimes and even batch process failures. And it was a sales barrier.
We decided to take the plunge and rearchitect the platform - and as a B-Corp, demonstrating our commitment to social and environmental performance, we did so while focusing on scale and sustainability. This is the story of how we did it.
