Transforming Our Technology Stack with Serverless on AWS

At Thredd, we are on a transformative journey—one that is modernizing not just our technology stack but also the way we deliver software. As a global issuer processor, our mission is to provide clients with the tools they need to innovate and scale their fintech solutions. To achieve this, we are leveraging Serverless Architecture on AWS Cloud, enabling us to build a next-generation platform that is secure, scalable, and cost-effective.

Modernizing from the Ground Up

Our legacy stack, built around monolithic databases and SOAP APIs, has served us well but lacks the agility required in today’s fast-paced environment. With the adoption of serverless principles—using AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, Aurora, S3, and API Gateway—we are transitioning to a cloud-native architecture. This not only reduces operational overhead but also empowers us to scale elastically, deploy rapidly, and support multi-tenancy and regionality efficiently.

Empowering Developers and Accelerating Delivery

Technology modernization is not just about tools; it’s about people and processes. We’ve adopted a developer-first approach, where coding happens in secure cloud-based workspaces using Coder.com, ensuring consistency and enabling seamless collaboration across teams globally. AI-powered tools enhance our software delivery by automating mundane tasks, identifying code improvements, and boosting developer productivity.

shift-left mindset underpins our delivery processes, integrating automated testing and security checks at every stage of development. Our release process is now fully automated, enabling continuous deployment with confidence. This allows us to deliver innovation to our clients faster while maintaining the highest standards of quality.

Why It Matters

This transformation is not just a technical initiative; it’s a business enabler. By adopting serverless and modern delivery practices, we are significantly reducing costs, improving time-to-market, and laying the foundation for a future-proof platform. It also ensures we remain a trusted partner for our clients, delivering reliability and scalability as their businesses grow.

At Thredd, we believe this modernization journey is key to driving innovation—not just for us, but for our clients and the end-users who rely on their solutions. This is how we’re building the future of fintech.
