In the financial world, recording the transaction is only half the battle. After a credit card purchase, a commitment to buy a stock, or a transfer of funds from one bank to another, actual money has to change hands in a manner that is somewhat less amenable to being kept as a record in a database. That can get even more complicated if the actual mechanisms for banking and financial transactions have to be used by multiple microservices and applications. Plus, all those mechanisms are themselves, microservices and applications.
The result can be a large number of services presenting as a single product. Accenture has clients around the world with which it consults on IT projects. But the company also offers services, like its Applied Technology and Operations for Markets, (ATOM). In simple terms, ATOM is a set of SaaS capabilities for the financial services industry. It includes transaction processing, a trading platform , data management and compliance all as-a-service.
In more specific compute terms, Accenture built out ATOM using Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA). Accenture's Hitesh Joshi has written a blog post detailing the structure and journey these financial services took to come to market. From the blog:
Containers have become the ATOM standard unit of deployment. Having a well understood deployment architecture that is consistent across all applications allows developers to focus on the application's features that add value, and stop worrying about how to get new applications into production. Launching new services and applications is less complex and less risky because it’s already been used repeatedly. Developers can easily integrate new services into the existing ecosystem with greater consistency which lowers maintenance costs.
