5. Principles / Standards /Patterns

Architecture Principles:

  • Cloud-Native First (AKS, managed services).

    • Cloud-First, API-First – all new services are cloud-native and API-enabled.

  • Security by Design – every microservice follows “least privilege” and is scanned in CI/CD pipelines.

    • Security by Design (Zero Trust, mTLS, IAM-first).

  • Event-driven microservices & Write /Read Model

  • Trust ,But Validate every touchpoint

  • Compliance-Driven – regulatory obligations embedded into architecture.

    •  Compliance-Driven (SEBI, RBI, FATCA, AML,OFAC.,GDPR).

  • Reuse over Build – prefer reusing enterprise services (KYC, Credit Scoring, AML) before building anew.

  • Event-Driven & Real-Time – Kafka backbone for streaming data (fraud alerts, credit checks).

  • Data is an Asset – single source of truth (golden customer record), data lineage, audit trails.

  • Observability & Transparency – monitoring, logging, tracing integrated into every layer.

    • Observability (logs, metrics, traces mandatory).

  • Resilience & High Availability (active-active, DR strategy).

  • Vendor-Agnostic – core services remain portable across Azure/AWS/GCP where possible.

  • Automation First – IaC, automated regression, auto ML retraining pipelines.

  • Customer-Centric – architecture optimized for faster, simpler lending journeys.

  • Open Standards: OAuth2.0, OIDC, TLS 1.3, ISO 27001.

  • Standardized Tech Stack (Spring Boot, Angular, AKS, Kafka, Redis, Cosmos DB, Postgres BDR, Fenergo, Actimize.).

Architecture Standards

  • Microservices Standards:

    • Spring Boot, Java 17, REST/gRPC, Kafka for event streaming.

    • Circuit breaker pattern (Resilience4j), API Gateway (Azure APIM).

    • Idempotency for all financial transactions.

  • Security Standards:

    • OWASP Top 10 compliance.

    • Encryption (AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit).

    • Azure Key Vault for secrets.

    • SailPoint-driven role lifecycle, JML (Joiner-Mover-Leaver) automation.

  • Data Standards:

    • Master Data Management (MDM) for customer profile.

    • Data quality rules defined for KYC/AML.

    • GDPR-compliant PII anonymization.

  • DevOps Standards:

    • IaC with Terraform/Bicep.

    • CI/CD with gated builds, SAST/DAST, container scans.

    • Blue-green & canary deployments.Security Standards:

Design & Integration Patterns

  • Event-Driven Pattern: Loan events → Kafka → downstream microservices (AML, Fraud).

  • Strangler Fig Pattern: Gradually replace legacy CBS modules with microservices.

  • Anti-Corruption Layer: Between new microservices and Finacle/BaNCS.

  • Saga Pattern: Distributed loan transaction consistency.

  • CQRS & Event Sourcing: For credit decisioning and fraud audit trails.

  • API Façade Pattern: Hide legacy CBS APIs with modern REST façade.

  • Batch Offload Pattern: Legacy Proc*C → Spring Batch with event triggers.

11. End-to-End Event-Driven Lending Journey (Amit R)

11. End-to-End Step-by-Step Lending Journey (Amit R)

Step 1 – Customer Login & Application:

  • Amit R logs in via ABC Bank portal.

  • Initiates loan application → triggers loan-initiated-event in Outbox → Kafka topic loan-initiated-event.

  • Consumers: kyc-svc, credit-svc, fraud-svc, aml-svc.

  • Data Lake raw ingestion: /raw/loan/amit_r.json.

Step 2 – Document Upload & OCR:

  • Amit R uploads PAN, Aadhaar, salary slips, bank statements, ITR.

  • document-svc extracts metadata via OCR → stores PDF in Blob Storage.

  • Event document-uploaded-event published → consumed by Loan Orchestration, Data Lake service.

Step 3 – KYC / AML / Fraud / Credit Checks:

  • kyc-svc calls Fenergo API → updates status → kyc-verified-event.

  • credit-svc calls CIBIL/Experian → internal composite credit score → credit-score-verified-event.

  • fraud-svc calls Experian Hunter + internal ML → fraud-clear-event.

  • aml-svc calls Actimize → aml-clear-event.

  • All events ingested into Data Lake → Curated Parquet → used by ML, analytics, and reporting.

Step 4 – Loan Decision & Manual Review:

  • Loan Orchestration service evaluates Drools rules: PD, LTV, EMI affordability, income/debt ratio.

  • Decision outcomes: loan-approved-event, loan-rejected-event, or loan-manual-review-event.

  • Manual review by Operations for exceptions.

  • Approved loans trigger CBS account creation → loan-account-created-event.

Step 5 – Disbursement & EMI:

  • Payment service executes fund transfer to builder / beneficiary → loan-disbursed-event.

  • EMI schedule created → monthly emi-generated-event, repayments → loan-repayment-event.

  • At tenure end → loan-closed-event.

Step 6 – Data Lake & Analytics:

  • Raw JSON → Curated Parquet for every event.

  • Used for ML retraining, dashboards, regulatory reporting.

Step 7 – Audit & Security:

  • Every event logged in Audit service.

  • Kafka ACLs ensure microservice isolation.

  • Access governance via SailPoint and Azure AD.

- Kafka MirrorMaker for replication

- Prometheus / Grafana monitoring

- ELK stack logging

- CI/CD rollback & runbooks

- Auto-scaling microservices & Kafka partitions+

Notes on Event-Driven Architecture:

  • Outbox Pattern: Every microservice writes to its own Outbox table first → Kafka poller reads pending events → publishes to respective topic.

    • Outbox → Kafka → Microservice → Data Lake → ML / Analytics → Auditis the core pattern for all events.

  • Topic ACLs: Each microservice can only consume events it is authorized for. E.g., loan-initiated-event consumed only by kyc-svc, credit-svc, fraud-svc, aml-svc.

    • Kafka ACLs ensure that only authorized microservices consume each event/topic.

  • Data Lake Flow:

    • Raw Layer: Stores JSON as-is from event → /raw/...

    • Curated Layer: Transformed / enriched → /curated/... (Parquet format)

  • ML Scoring / Analytics:

    • Internal ML + external credit/fraud/AML APIs

    • Produces composite score (PD, LTV, EMI, income-to-debt ratio)

    • Feeds Drools rules for automated loan decision

  • Audit / Security / Governance:

    • All events logged in Audit Service

    • IAM via Azure AD + SailPoint ensures SoD and access reviews

    • Data encrypted in transit and at rest

  • Drools engine applies business rules for approval, rejection, or manual review.

  • Operational layer ensures DR, monitoring, auto-scaling, compliance.

  • Security & governance enforced end-to-end (Azure AD + SailPoint + encryption + audit)


12. Security & Identity Governance

  • Azure AD: Authentication, role-based authorization.

  • SailPoint: Identity governance, role lifecycle, SoD, access reviews.

  • Kafka ACLs: Microservices restricted to only their relevant topics/events.

  • Encryption: TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest.

  • Audit Trail: Every event logged in Audit Service + Data Lake.

  • Regulatory Compliance: KYC, AML, FinCrime, SEBI, GDPR.
