Fintech
Location
Mexico City
Klar bank is the largest fintech in Mexico. Serving a mobile first digital bank to over 6.5 million users running 100s of microservices.
The Challenge
The Delivery
Sanat Serikuly
Tech Lead of Klar
"I have never seen a self service model work so well before and built so fast. Genuinely surprised by the quality, efficiency and speed of the setup. Alerting/monitoring systems that are deeply integrated behind simple terraform modules. Polyform’s approach saved us a ton of time, money and headaches."
Requirements
Highly available infrastructure on AWS for an event driven microservices architecture backed by Kubernetes, Kafka, Relational and non-relational databases, redis caching, s3 and more.
Multiple isolated environments each running 40 microservices.
CIS, ISO-27001 and PCI compliance.
Lean and cost sensitive infrasturcure.
Self Service Infrastructure as code.
Zero Trust Network setup.
CI/CD Pipelines
Observability, Logging, Monitoring, Alerting and incident response.
VPN, SSO with Okta, and DDOS protection.
Klar platform was delivered in 4 weeks. The delivered solution abstracted all AWS infrastructure complexity, allowing backend engineers to deploy resources in a matter of minutes through Github actions and Gitops.
State of the art IAC, setup with CI/CD.
38% utilised cloud spending.
Fastest growing fintech startup backed by a platform that enables 0 time planning and waiting to provision cloud resources.
Self service model, any engineer can reliably deploy resources using easy to use blueprints based on terraform modules.
Identical reproducible environments across the organisation with CIS security baked in.
Auditing across all services traffic, databases and AWS APIs with VPN and SSO setup with Okta, and Hashicorp vault for secrets management and rotation.
Transparent Auditing
Bluefin

Fintech
Location
Toronto
A decentralised orderbook based exchange high frequency trading.
The Challenge
The Delivery
Ahmad Jawaid
CTO of Bluefin
“The level of our operational excellence was significantly increased. Within weeks we went from convoluted inconsistent infrastructure and pipelines and observability to some of the most organised and heavily monitored setups I have ever seen. Our backend team productivity was significantly increased ever since Polyform abstracted AWS for our engineers.”
Requirements
Sub 40 milliseconds response time across all services and APIs.
Highly available infrastructure on AWS for an event driven microservices architecture backed by Kubernetes, Kafka, Relational and non-relational databases, redis caching, s3 and more.
Up to 9 production environments and aws accounts.
CIS + ISO-27001 compliance.
JWT/Oauth based authentication and authorisation.
Centralised Observability, Logging, Monitoring, Alerting and incident response.
VPN, SSO with Okta, and DDOS protection with cloudflare.
The Bluefin platform was delivered in 1 week. The solution was able to abstract all AWS infrastructure complexity allowing backend engineers to deploy resources in a matter of minutes through Github actions and Gitops.
Automated Infrastructure
All infrastructure is deployed and managed as code using Terraform, Helm, and Terrragrunt.
Replicable, Secure Environments
Self service model, any engineer can reliably deploy resources using easy to use blueprints based on terraform modules.
Governance & Security
Auditing across all services traffic, databases and AWS APIs with VPN and SSO setup with Okta, and Hashicorp vault for secrets management and rotation.
Proactive Alerting
Well rounded all-in-one monitoring, logging and incident response system with Grafana, Loki, Prometheus stack and Grafana Tempo deeply integrated with istio mesh.
Turnkey Observability
Identical reproducible environments across the organisation with security backed in.
Engineer Autonomy
Enforced security policies, governance and conventions across all environments.
Transparent Auditing
High level of autonomy for engineering teams to deploy, provision and update their services cloud resources autonomously.
