For a large financial institution, we developed an enterprise-grade identity verification and authentication system capable of handling millions of sessions per day — with high security standards, stable availability, and full auditability. The platform combines modern microservices, encrypted communication, and intelligent load balancing to enable real-time identity verification across web and mobile platforms.

Challenge

A large financial institution needed a new authentication layer that:

• Reliably processes millions of identity verification requests daily
• Is secure, scalable, and fault-tolerant
• Supports comprehensive logging and compliance-oriented audit requirements
• Can be integrated into a containerized infrastructure
• Seamlessly integrates with existing identity providers

In short: a modern, modular platform for critical security processes.

Our Approach

1 — Microservice-Based Architecture

We developed independent services for:

• identity validation
• session and token management
• document and ID verification
• event and audit logging

Communication between services occurs asynchronously via message queues.

2 — Containerization & Orchestration

All services were implemented using Docker and operated in Kubernetes:

• automatic horizontal scaling
• high fault tolerance (self-healing)
• rolling deployments without downtime

3 — Security & Compliance

The system was developed with security standards aligned with regulated financial environments:

• encrypted service-to-service communication
• multi-factor validation mechanisms
• adaptive throttling mechanisms
• full audit traceability

4 — Integration & Extensibility

The platform was designed to flexibly integrate into:

• existing identity providers
• internal banking systems
• mobile and web apps

Results

• Millions of identity verification sessions processed per day
• Significantly reduced downtime through containerized architecture and orchestration
• Full auditability for internal compliance processes
• Seamless integration with external and internal identity providers
• Stable performance under high load

Why It Matters

The architecture developed in this project sets standards for modern security-critical systems. The same principles — modularity, security, scalability, and clear responsibilities — now flow into our startup and enterprise projects, where reliability and data protection are crucial from the start.
