Abstract

Real-time banking, digital payment and trading require abstract financial applications that are read only, low-latency to process transactions, scalable, and high level of security. The article introduces the concept of cloud-native solution to the high-availability strategy to design Java microservices on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) to stabilize and improve the functioning of the system. The High-Availability Financial Microservices Framework (HAFMF) monitored is a framework that deploys microservices spring boot-based systems running a docker container that is managed by Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). Repatriation and acquittal of traffic application request can be done on API Gateway, AWS Application Load Balancer and Amazon route 53, but on the Amazon RDS Multi-AZ, DynamoDB and Elasti- cache, durability of information and speedy retrieval is ensured. Amazon SQS and Amazon EventBridge help achieve event-driven communication, enhance service decoupling, and fault tolerance. In a bid to ensure higher levels of security, it uses AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), AWS Key Management Service (KMS), AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) and centralized monitoring, based on Amazon CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray. The framework contains auto-scaling, circuit breaker, distributed tracing and disaster recovery plans to minimize the down-time and proceed with service delivery. The suggested solution is scalable, secure and resiliency to meet the high demands of the financial services and reduce the cost of operations and improve the availability of the applications in cloud set up in an enterprise set up which stands out as strategically positioned
