Cloud-Native API Platform Delivery
Delivery of a highly secure, high-throughput, microservices-based API platform processing over 15 million daily transaction requests securely.
The Challenge
The client needed to modernise its legacy API backend to support international third-party integrations under open banking regulations. The existing system suffered from high latency overhead, lack of scalability under peak loads, and slow deployment cycles. In addition, the platform had to comply with strict PCI-DSS and PSD2 security policies, requiring dynamic authorization checks and continuous Shift-Left security validation.
Architecture & Operations Flow
The Solution
Mochikabu designed and engineered a cloud-native API platform based on a containerized service mesh. We implemented an API Gateway with automated token caching, segregated service boundaries, and real-time observability metrics. A Shift-Left CI/CD pipeline was introduced to perform automated vulnerability scans on every code change, while circuit breaker patterns secured backend service stability under heavy loads.
