Traditional Banking Systems Challenged - Is Container Orchestration the New Norm?
The Challenge for Traditional Banking Institutions
Traditional banking institutions face significant challenges from alternative fintech solutions such as digital banks, wallets, mobile payments, peer-to-peer lending platforms, and cryptocurrencies. These fintech innovations have embraced DevOps methodologies and technologies from the outset, benefiting from advantages such as zero downtime, rapid delivery of new features, fewer bugs, enhanced performance and scalability, and reduced maintenance costs. In contrast, traditional banks have been slow to adopt new IT methodologies due to their legacy systems, stringent regulations, and conservative IT management frameworks. As a result, they have fallen behind in certain fintech areas.
