Cloud payment platforms that scale and stay compliant
We help banks, processors and fintechs move payment platforms to Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud and run them as cloud-native systems that scale on demand, recover quickly and stay within regulatory and cost limits.
What our clients are up against
Moving without stopping payments
Authorizations and settlements must keep running throughout a migration, with no gap in service or compliance.
Compliance in a shared model
In the cloud, security duties are split between you and the provider, and auditors expect that split to be clear and documented.
Costs that grow quietly
Without clear ownership and visibility, cloud spending can rise faster than transaction volumes.
How we cover Cloud-Native Architecture
Migration and cloud strategy
Plan where each workload runs and how it gets there safely.
- Payment platform migration to AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
- Multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies
- Disaster recovery and high availability across regions and zones
- Cost optimization and FinOps (cloud financial management) for payment platforms
Cloud-native architecture
Break platforms into services that scale and change independently.
- Cloud-native architecture design using 12-factor app principles
- Microservices decomposition with domain-driven design (DDD)
- Containerization with Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes
- Serverless design with AWS Lambda, Azure Functions and Google Cloud Run
- API gateway and service mesh implementation with Istio or Linkerd
Automation and operations
Make every change repeatable and every service visible.
- Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Jenkins
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with Terraform, CloudFormation or Pulumi
- Observability and monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog or New Relic
Cloud security and compliance
Build security and audit readiness into the platform from day one.
- Identity and access management (IAM) design for payment workloads
- Secrets management and encryption of data at rest and in transit
- Compliance mapping for PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)

Services, case studies and tools
Which cloud provider should we choose?
It depends on your existing skills, regulatory requirements, data residency rules and the services you need. AWS, Azure and Google Cloud can all host compliant payment platforms. We compare them against your requirements and help you decide whether one provider, several or a hybrid model with on-premises systems fits best.
Can payment platforms really run on Kubernetes or serverless?
Yes, with the right design. Kubernetes suits long-running services such as authorization and switching, where predictable performance matters. Serverless suits event-driven tasks such as notifications, reporting and file processing. Most platforms combine both. We design the boundaries so each component runs where it performs and costs best.
How do you keep a cloud payment platform PCI DSS compliant?
We start by defining which components handle card data and keeping that scope as small as possible. We then design identity and access controls, encryption, key management, logging and network segmentation that meet PCI DSS requirements, and document how responsibilities split between you and your cloud provider for your assessor.
How do we keep cloud costs under control?
We build cost visibility into the architecture from the start: tagging resources by service and team, right-sizing workloads, scaling automatically with demand and reviewing commitments regularly. FinOps practices give your finance and engineering teams a shared view, so spending decisions are made with both cost and performance in mind.
