01The problem
Lending touches scoring, disbursement, repayments and third-party checks, and many of those calls are slow or unreliable. Running them all in the request path makes the whole platform fragile.
02The approach
- Designed a microservice architecture with clear ownership boundaries for lending, scoring and transactions.
- Moved slow and failure-prone work onto asynchronous, event-driven workflows over message queues.
- Built secure REST APIs for partners consuming lending as a service.
03The impact
- Better platform reliability, maintainability and performance.
- Part of the architecture and database work behind 30%+ platform performance gains.
