When I think financial services and simple architecture, I think of Python, ORM, Kubernetes, Cloud, GraphQL and admission of "data-integrity bugs" and "paying retail public cloud prices".
The article itself mostly discusses tech choices rather than architecture. Half of their choices, they seem to regret.
On the service itself: It seems detrimental for African countries (or any country) to allow external financial services to get ingrained and allow them to milk their own populace and prevent the development of state-owned, cost-neutral, non-profit, long-term solutions for the public good. Payment should be public infrastructure, not private profiteering.
Is anyone here donating Dan $180k/year (+VAT) for his blogging?
