Case details
Waiting 2-5 business days for a payment to process, and even longer to get delivered? That's so 2003. At The Capital, I wanted to re-engineer how we thought about peer-to-peer (p2p) payments between users that prioritized speed, security, and accessibility. I dive into the why behind creating serverless microservices and why decoupling a complex workflow flow, like payments, on AWS, lets you scale your app, software, or infrastructure so much faster.
