What I Learned

Microservices for Payment Processing

Separating concerns (routing, fraud, reconciliation) into independent services improved reliability.

High Availability Demands Architecture

Achieving 99.99% uptime requires redundancy at every layer—database, service, and geographic level.

Compliance is Infrastructure

PCI DSS compliance isn't just a checklist—it fundamentally shapes architecture and operational practices.
