What are we working on? The Monzo Weekly Diary

Sorry @dom, looks like I’m a bit late! :grimacing:

Hi everyone! :raising_hand: I’m Matt, and I work on our backend systems and infrastructure :tools: Last time I did one of these :stopwatch: I was working on some updates to our platform, helping us to move our Go microservices to run on Kubernetes in Docker containers :whale: so that our systems are more stable and scalable in preparation for us getting our banking licence! :bank: :moneybag:

However, now that we’ve gained our banking license :tada: and entered “mobilisation” it’s full steam ahead :steam_locomotive::dash: so we’ve kicked off work on our core banking systems, and this week I’ve been looking at our integration to the Faster Payment network :money_with_wings: That involves sending and receiving lots of ISO8583 messages :envelope_with_arrow: which look a bit strange if you’re used to JSON or XML, but are widely used within the global financial networks!

Next up I’ll nominate @joluet :robot:
