Project Environment:

More than 70% of the team's capacity will focus on building the new enterprise software application and setting up vendor software Exstream Cloud Native on OpenShift platform.

The system being built is highly complex in functionality and expected to process large transactions in extremely high volume.

This application is designed for modularization, as components and microservices, and orchestration of these services will be based on configurable processing workflows.

Databases include SQL Server, Mongo DB, Postgres.

Components and microservices environment include Kafka, AVRO, Java, Spring, Hibernate, JPA, Orchestra, Apigee,

Test automation is extremely important using Junit, Karate, Cucumber, TDD, BDD.

Applications are continuously scanned for outdated software and vulnerabilities so attention to secure coding practices are extremely important.
