Edward Wible and Rafael Ferreira discuss the key elements that make Nubank tick for millions of customers every day, including transaction authorization, messaging infrastructure (Kafka), real-time double-entry accounting (Datomic), customer and temporal sharding, their analytical environment and the role of predictive models, and some key security decisions they made along the way.
This presentation was recorded at QCon San Francisco 2017.

I like the quality of content on this channel, I learn a lot from every video. I'm amazed I found it only now.

[@Rarez2]

Same here, very good quality and unique content. The AWS Webinars channel is also amazing.

[@aishwarya1993]

This was fascinating - I would love to hear an updated version about how their architecture has evolved/changed now in 2020.

[@Rarez2]

I would imagine not much actually. Most of their core infrastructure services appear to be EC2 AMIs -- not Lambda, Fargate, EKS or ECS. Kafka is still highly resilient and very popular today. Otherwise they didn't specify how their AWS infras is like.

[@Rarez2]

In regards to their ML infra, it sounds like they're running Airflow DAGs.

[@himanshuupadhyay6749]

How do we make sure a customer request is direct to a particular shard, I could understand that you mentioned links will have address for a particular shard, however I wanted to understand how these links are created and where is this data in global services stored? Any reading material would help
