Modernizing a FinTech Monolith
to Next.js 15 & Kubernetes.

A fast-growing FinTech platform was suffering from frequent outages and slow developer deployment cycles. We modernized their 10-year legacy backend into Next.js 15 and multi-region Kubernetes with zero downtime.

THE BOTTLENECK

14-hour deployments and recurring database lockouts.

A 10-year-old Ruby on Rails monolith on overloaded relational databases was causing 99.2% uptime SLAs, frequent database row-locking deadlocks, and multi-hour deployment freezes.

THE ARCHITECTURE

Strangler Fig migration to Next.js 15 & AWS Aurora.

We extracted high-traffic domains behind an Envoy proxy facade, established real-time CDC synchronization with Debezium, and deployed sub-100ms Next.js 15 frontends paired with resilient Kubernetes microservices.

TECHNICAL STACK

Modernization architecture components.

Next.js 15 App Router Frontend

Next.js 15, TypeScript, Vercel Edge

React Server Components with edge streaming and optimistic UI, cutting load times by 75% on mobile.

Multi-Region Kubernetes (AWS EKS)

AWS EKS, Cilium, Karpenter, Istio

Cilium eBPF mesh with Karpenter node autoscaling handling 100,000 requests/sec during peak financial trading windows.

Zero-Downtime Database Migration Engine

Debezium, Apache Kafka, AWS DMS

Migrated 2.8 Terabytes of active banking transaction records from legacy MySQL 5.7 to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL using Debezium CDC.

GitOps CI/CD & Automated Canaries

ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, Helm
