The challenge
What we were solving for
Fintra Capital's on-premise infrastructure was expensive to maintain and couldn't scale with transaction volume during peak trading periods.
As a financial services firm, Fintra needed to modernize without disrupting always-on, customer-facing trading and reporting services.
Our approach
How we tackled it
Vali planned and executed a phased migration to AWS, sequencing workloads by risk so the highest-stakes systems moved last, with rollback points at every stage.
We piloted the approach on a low-risk internal workload first, then used what we learned to move customer-facing systems with zero unplanned downtime.
- Assessed all workloads and mapped their dependencies
- Designed a phased migration plan with rollback points at each stage
- Migrated infrastructure to AWS using infrastructure-as-code
- Optimized cost and hardened security post-migration
Results
What came of it
32%
Lower infrastructure cost
0
Unplanned downtime during migration
2x
Faster deploy cadence
Fintra now runs on right-sized AWS infrastructure at roughly two-thirds of its previous hosting cost, with a deployment pipeline that lets engineering ship twice as often — and the migration itself completed with zero unplanned downtime for traders.
Stack
Technology used
“The migration was smoother than we expected, with zero surprises. Vali walked us through every phase before it happened, so nothing landed on our desk unannounced.”
