Building a Bank with Go
Traditionally applications have been built as monoliths; single applications which become larger and more complex over time, which limit our ability to react to change. An example of this is the banking industry where mergers and acquisitions between banks have lead to a patchwork of different systems & technologies that cost billions of dollars per year to maintain. As a result, the pace of innovation in the banking industry has slowed to a crawl. At Monzo we're building a new kind of bank backed by a microservice platform written in Go. In this talk we'll look at why Go is perfectly suited to this style of architecture, the language features that make it particularly attractive to high volume, low latency, distributed applications, and how easy it is to adopt into existing systems and organisations.
