Customer overview
Credilio Financial Technologies is a Mumbai-based FinTech company focused on making personal finance accessible through a digital platform that enables customers to discover and apply for financial products such as credit cards, personal loans, home loans, and insurance offerings.
As customer adoption and transaction volumes continued to grow, the organization required a secure, scalable, and highly available technology platform capable of supporting rapid business expansion while maintaining strong governance, compliance, and security controls.
Business challenges
The existing environment supported multiple customer-facing applications, backend services, databases, analytics workloads, and integration platforms. As the business scaled, the organization faced challenges related to application scalability, deployment agility, operational visibility, security governance, and infrastructure standardization.
The platform required a modern operating model that could support containerized workloads, automated software delivery, centralized monitoring, and resilient infrastructure capable of handling increasing transaction volumes. At the same time, the organization needed stronger security controls to protect sensitive customer and financial data, improve threat detection capabilities, reduce operational risk, and maintain compliance readiness.
The customer also required a centralized data platform capable of consolidating information from multiple business systems, enabling data quality improvements, analytics, reporting, and business intelligence initiatives.
- — Application scalability and deployment agility
- — Operational visibility and infrastructure standardization
- — Security governance, threat detection, and compliance readiness
- — A centralized data platform for analytics and reporting
Solution
Redington designed and implemented a secure cloud-native AWS platform built on DevSecOps principles. The solution modernized application deployment, centralized security operations, improved governance, and established an automated software delivery framework capable of supporting future growth.
Part 1. Application Platform & CI/CD
The application platform was deployed on Amazon EKS to provide a scalable and resilient container orchestration environment. Automated CI/CD pipelines were implemented using GitHub Actions, Amazon ECR, and ArgoCD, enabling streamlined application delivery and consistent deployments across environments. Infrastructure provisioning and configuration management were standardized using AWS-native automation and governance controls.
Part 2. Availability & Performance
To improve application availability and performance, highly available Amazon RDS databases, Amazon ElastiCache, Amazon MSK, Amazon EFS, Application Load Balancers, Amazon CloudFront, and Amazon S3 were implemented as part of the platform architecture.
Part 3. Security Framework
A comprehensive security framework was established across the environment. Identity and access management controls, secure administrative access, encryption, secrets management, continuous vulnerability assessment, threat detection, centralized security visibility, compliance monitoring, and audit logging were integrated throughout the platform lifecycle. Security findings were consolidated through centralized monitoring and security operations workflows, enabling proactive detection, investigation, and response to security events.
Part 4. Data Platform
A cloud-native data platform was also implemented using Amazon S3, Amazon MWAA, AWS Glue Data Catalog, AWS Lambda, and Amazon Athena to support data ingestion, transformation, governance, analytics, and business reporting requirements.
