Financial systems are known to move at glacial speeds making it tricky to build innovative systems in a world where everyone wants to access their data in real-time. Tally provides financial automation to our customers in an innovative way using TypeBus, a framework for building distributed microservices in Scala using Akka Streams and Kafka. TypeBus allows the ability to run various asynchronous tasks, yet remaining available for customers to access their data in real-time.
There are many libraries out there focused on delivering low-latency responses. There are less which aim to be transparent to the user, provide auditability with baked in retries and back pressure, and can be easily distributed across a cluster. In this session, we'll discuss problems Tally faced building micro services in the past and why we moved to TypeBus.
