Modern Banking in 1500 Microservices

Monzo runs over 1,500 microservices in production and that number continues to grow. Each has a single responsibility and well defined interfaces. It takes many, many distinct pieces of functionality to run a modern banking backend.  

This talk will explain how we build, operate, observe and maintain our banking infrastructure. We’ll talk about how we compose microservices to add new functionality. We will discuss Monzo’s review culture, deployment and incident tooling, monitoring practices and how we share knowledge effectively. All of this plays a significant role in allowing Monzo to deploy new features safely hundreds of times a day.
