NDA Notice

HUBTEL ENGINEERING

The primary engineering challenge involved refactoring legacy monoliths into highly available microservices. This required managing distributed states, ensuring idempotent payment processing across flaky networks, and optimizing API gateways to handle high-frequency concurrent requests without dropping transactions.

Distributed Microservices architecting scalable internal services to decouple complex payment logic.

Idempotent Transaction Handling ensuring payment states remain absolutely accurate during network drops.

High-Throughput APIs optimizing database indexing and caching layers for sub-second responses.

Strict Compliance Security implementing deep RBAC and payload encryption per financial regulations.

Architecting for Scale and Security.

Working within an enterprise FinTech environment like Hubtel demands a rigorous approach to software engineering. Every line of code must account for extreme edge cases, potential network failures, and absolute data integrity. While the user-facing details remain confidential, the underlying technical achievements represent a masterclass in building robust, high-availability payment rails.

01

Event-Driven Microservices over Monolith

Decoupled payment processing from user-facing services to enable independent scaling during transaction spikes and isolate failure domains.

02

CQRS with Event Sourcing

Separated read/write models for transaction ledgers, enabling real-time audit trails while maintaining sub-50ms query performance on reporting dashboards.

03

Redis-backed Idempotency Layer

Implemented distributed idempotency keys with TTL-based expiry to prevent duplicate transaction processing across retry storms from upstream payment gateways.

Legacy monolith migration without downtime

Implemented a Strangler Fig pattern with a facade API gateway, incrementally routing traffic from the monolith to new microservices while maintaining backward compatibility. Used feature flags and shadow traffic to validate correctness before full cutover.

Ensuring exactly-once payment processing across distributed services

Designed a transactional outbox pattern paired with RabbitMQ consumers using manual acknowledgment. Combined with Redis idempotency keys, this achieved zero duplicate transactions across 99.99% uptime SLA windows.

Sub-second API response times under 10K+ concurrent requests

Introduced multi-tier caching (L1 in-memory, L2 Redis cluster) with cache-aside pattern, optimized PostgreSQL queries with partial indexes and materialized views, and implemented connection pooling via PgBouncer.

Reduced P95 API latency from 1.2s to 180ms through caching and query optimization

Achieved zero-downtime deployments via blue-green strategy on Kubernetes

Processed 500K+ daily transactions with 99.99% uptime SLA

Reduced infrastructure costs by 35% through horizontal pod autoscaling
