Developing non-core, compliant, and secure multi-channel, multi-product tech solutions for the financial sector is challenging enough without having to worry about DevOps and infrastructure.

And yet, that was the exact position Infinant was in, working to develop and deploy the right infrastructure solutions at scale without adding a large in-house DevOps team.

That’s why Infinant turned to DuploCloud to scale up and support compliant infrastructure for financial sector clients. In this case study, we’ll show you how DuploCloud supports Infinant and helps them move faster while meeting security and compliance expectations.

Key Takeaways

  • Infinant makes it possible for financial institutions and challenger banks to advance their market position with new products and services.
  • It enables this value creation through non-core tech solutions that can be pushed live within a client’s platforms while maintaining strong security controls. Infinant does this worldwide, making their technology region-agnostic.
  • Infinant needed a quicker DevOps infrastructure with compliance-ready controls, so they turned to DuploCloud to standardize and deploy infrastructure faster, without slowing product teams.

Business Benefits

  • DevOps infrastructure created within hours, not days, weeks, or even months
  • Compliance-ready infrastructure and DevOps support: essential in the financial services sector (PCI, SOC 2, and similar requirements)
  • Fully automated CI/CD pipelines

The Challenge

Infinant provides resilient financial technology (FinTech SaaS) that serves as a growth platform for financial institutions (FIs) to power their digital and embedded finance channels without requiring core replacement.

The Infinant Interlace Platform enables a multi-channel, multi-product strategy, with accounts, payments, and cards on a single platform under bank control to satisfy bank regulatory requirements.

Infinant creates new value propositions for financial institutions, brands, and fintech to help them act and advance their market position. The financial sector is more competitive than ever, so anything that gives traditional, challenger, and neo-banks an advantage is worth investing in.

However, in the financial services sector, there are multiple challenges when developing new software products, especially when these are modular, containerized, and implemented on top of a business’s core technology.

Before working with DuploCloud, these were the main challenges:

  • Developing non-core microservices in a financial services and FinTech SaaS environment means interacting with multiple technology solutions, software, and platforms.
  • As a small (20 people) but effective development company, DevOps is a lot to manage when a considerable amount of time is spent building innovative, non-core, containerized solutions.
  • Building and maintaining compliance-ready controls for requirements like PCI and SOC 2 adds another layer of complexity. Infinant needed an approach that could work across clients, regions, and evolving regulatory expectations.

Infinant needed the kind of support that a DevOps platform and team can deliver, one that works across cloud platforms, supports automation, and provides security controls that help teams meet audit and compliance requirements.

The Solution: An automated, compliant, scalable DevOps infrastructure

Infinant’s work building non-core fintech solutions involves working across multiple technology infrastructure services. Infinant is built using Docker, Kubernetes, and numerous other tech stacks.

DevOps and infrastructure are even more to think about, on top of building the product, product deliveries, and compliance. When engineering teams have few or no DevOps experts on staff, it can be difficult to deploy repeatable infrastructure without increasing risk.

Infinant needed to solve the problem of developing and deploying compliant infrastructure quickly, and using that to implement containerized code into client products.

DuploCloud helped Infinant standardize and deploy infrastructure faster through automation, while supporting security and compliance requirements. With DuploCloud, Infinant’s team can reduce manual DevOps work and keep delivery consistent across environments.

Not only that, but it does so securely, with compliance-ready controls built into the platform. So, Infinant’s team of engineers and product managers can spend more time focusing on developing innovative products, and less time worrying about DevOps and infrastructure.

Key results for Infinant

  • Quicker, more secure DevOps infrastructure with compliance-ready controls
  • Easier deployments of containerized code into client environments, with less manual DevOps work
  • DevOps infrastructure developed and deployed within hours, not days, weeks, or even months
  • Support for common financial services requirements (PCI, SOC 2, and similar expectations)
  • Fully automated CI/CD pipelines

On speed and repeatability:
“Thanks to DuploCloud, we can scale up and support containerised, compliant infrastructure, and we can do this much quicker than any other way.”

On confidence over time:
“After over two and a half years working with DuploCloud, we’ve got the confidence to know they can look after our clients and us. We know they can support us effectively as we grow our DevOps and infrastructure needs.”
