Enterprise Banking Platform on Azure Cloud
Slide 1: Title Slide
Title: Enterprise Banking Architecture: Spring Boot Microservices on AzureSubtitle: Customer Onboarding, Loan, UPI, Credit Card, and Fraud Detection FlowsPresented by: [Your Name], CTO Candidate
Slide 2: Vision & Strategy
Goal: Deliver scalable, secure, and resilient banking capabilities
Pillars:
Modular Microservices Architecture
Azure Native Cloud Foundation
Event-Driven and API-First Design
Customer-Centric & Risk-Aware
Slide 3: Core Use Case Flows
Customer Onboarding
Loan Application Processing
UPI Payments & Transfers
Credit Card Transaction Authorization
Fraud Detection Engine
Slide 4: Technology Stack Overview
Microservices: Spring Boot, Docker
Orchestration: AKS (Kubernetes), Istio
CI/CD: Azure DevOps
Data: Azure SQL, Cosmos DB, Blob
Events: Kafka (Event Hub/HDInsight)
Security: Azure AD B2C, Key Vault, SSL, mTLS
Monitoring: Azure Monitor, Log Analytics
Slide 5: High-Level Architecture
Client Layer: Mobile/Web ➝ API Management ➝ Azure AD B2C
Service Layer: Spring Boot Microservices in AKS
Integration: Kafka, Cosmos DB, Blob Storage
Observability: Azure Monitor, App Insights
Security: Istio, NSG, Key Vault, VNet, Subnet, SSL
Slide 6: Microservice Domain Boundaries
Customer Context: Profile, KYC, Risk Profile
Loan Context: Application, Eligibility, Credit Bureau
Payment Context: UPI Gateway, Account, Notification
Card Context: Validation, Authorization, Merchant
Fraud Context: Detection, Rules, Alerts
Slide 7: Flow: Customer Onboarding
User Registration (OTP + SSO)
Upload Docs to Blob
KYC Verification ➝ Kafka
Risk Profiling ➝ DB
Account Creation ➝ SQL
Slide 8: Flow: Loan Application
Submit Details ➝ API Gateway
Eligibility + Credit Bureau ➝ Kafka
Document Verification ➝ Blob
Final Approval ➝ Loan Service ➝ SQL
Slide 9: Flow: UPI Payment Processing
UPI Request ➝ API ➝ Kafka
Validate User + Balance
Notify Fraud Engine
Update Ledger ➝ SQL
Send Confirmation
Slide 10: Flow: Credit Card Transaction
Swipe ➝ API ➝ Auth Service
Validate Limits ➝ SQL
Fraud Check ➝ Kafka ➝ Fraud Service
Approve/Deny ➝ Log ➝ Notify
Slide 11: Fraud Detection Engine
Real-Time Rules from Cosmos DB
Kafka Event Stream Consumption
ML/AI Signals for High-Risk Events
Alerts to App & Monitoring
Slide 12: Security & Governance
Azure AD B2C + Role-Based Access
Istio + mTLS for east-west traffic
NSG, Firewall, VNet Peering
Secrets in Azure Key Vault
Audit Logs + Azure Policy
Slide 13: Enterprise Risk Categorization
Business: Low onboarding adoption ➝ Mitigation: UX, incentives
Operations: UPI downtime ➝ Mitigation: Multi-AZ + Retry logic
Technology: Container vulnerabilities ➝ Mitigation: Image scanning (ACR)
Security: Unauthorized access ➝ Mitigation: MFA, mTLS
Compliance: KYC bypass ➝ Mitigation: Auditable pipeline
Slide 14: Capability-to-Service Mapping
Capability | Microservices |
Onboard Customer | Profile, KYC, Risk, Notification |
Apply for Loan | Loan App, Eligibility, Docs, Risk |
Make Payment | UPI Gateway, Txn Logger, Account |
Detect Fraud | Fraud Engine, Rule Evaluator |
Auth Card | Card Validator, Auth Service |
Slide 15: Final Thoughts & Roadmap
Future-proof with Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
GenAI/ML enhancements in Fraud, Credit Scoring
Scalable via Azure Native Mesh + Event Bus
Goal: Unified, secure, intelligent banking platform
