We wanted to make our service lightning-fast for users anywhere in the world. Edge computing looked like the perfect solution. In practice, we achieved lower latency — but also ran into a whole bunch of unexpected problems. In this talk, Igor will cover: - how they designed edge architecture for global users; - edge providers and infrastructure: what we chose and why; - which optimizations actually made a difference; - architectural trade-offs that shaped our system design; - when edge turned into an “edge-case” and forced us to find unconventional workarounds; - our failures — and the best practices we derived from them.

During the lecture, Mykyta will share the story of Solidgate's journey in building a high-performing and reliable fintech company, striving for 99.999% uptime on AWS’s SaaS platform. He'll uncover numerous caveats in doing things right without full system access, addressing product requirements, and staying up to date.
