Making Kubernetes a Reality for Financial Services
By Terry Shea and Oleg Chunikhin (originally published in The New Stack)
The financial services industry has traditionally been very technology dependent, but often has trouble adopting new technologies. The payments sector is somewhat of an exception to this. M-Pesa for example, the mobile payments solution from Vodafone and its subsidiaries that enables unbanked individuals in Africa, India and elsewhere to receive and make payments, has been around for over a decade. Closer to home, teens and tweens are now splitting the cost of a pizza or an Uber using apps like Venmo, which has seen 80 percent growth this year.
