Client challenge

A monolithic payments service coupled ledger writes to partner APIs. Peak windows spiked p95 latency above 900ms, and deployments required weekend freezes.

Technical solution

Strangled services

Extracted authorization and settlement into separately deployable services with idempotent APIs.

Event-backed ledger

Introduced an append-only event stream with projection rebuilds for read models.

Progressive delivery

Canary releases with automated rollback on SLO burn.

Measured results

  • p95 latency from ~900ms to ~340ms on critical paths
  • Zero customer-facing downtime during cutover weekend
  • Release cadence from monthly to weekly with confidence
