Year
2024
LedgerSync Core split high-volume ledger write paths into Java microservices with idempotent APIs, reconciliation jobs, and load tests that simulate peak payment days. Settlement latency and unmatched entries became measurable SLOs instead of mystery tickets.
A Java microservice ledger fabric with reconciliation jobs, CI/CD, and performance testing for peak payment days.
Narrative
How the engagement moved from constraints to a shippable system.
Approach
We split ledger write paths, introduced idempotent APIs, and load-tested settlement under production-like traffic.
Solution
LedgerSync Core processes high-volume postings with clear reconciliation and regional failover.
