As a result, the pace of innovation in the banking industry has slowed to a crawl. At Mondo we are building a new kind of bank, a smart bank that belongs in the 21st century, and we’re building it almost entirely in Go. This talk will cover how we are developing new core banking systems from scratch backed by a microservice based platform written in Go, running across multiple data centres using tools including Docker and Mesos. We also look at why Go is perfectly suited to this, our architectural decisions, common pitfalls to avoid, and lessons learnt when developing high volume, low latency, distributed Go applications. * * * Tom Blomfield - Banking APIs - A Threat or an Opportunity? - 03/12/2015 [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/monzo/original/3X/2/a/2adb27d0e9eb39d79b81dc176965dd72c76da506.jpeg "Tom Blomfield - Banking APIs - A Threat or an Opportunity?") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TljkB23qtDk) > APIdays London next 23-24th of September will focus on APIs in the Banking and Fintech industries for delivering state of the art business cases and technical best practices to upgrade models and legacy software with APIs, with worlwide expert from the banking and fintech industry that are actually working on this topic. * * * Simon Vans Colina (Mondo Bank) - DevOps at a Startup Bank - 07/03/2016 **Developer Talk** [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/monzo/original/3X/3/3/33898b3091093f3dde76db08e21eb4bf29f29984.jpeg "Simon Vans Colina (Mondo Bank) - DevOps at a Startup Bank") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-AqkOweYCS0) > How Micro Services change the service discovery story for DevOps engineers.
