Distributed Systems

The distributed-systems layer underpinning Mantra platforms — event-driven architecture with Apache Kafka, distributed databases, CQRS/event-sourcing and high-throughput processing patterns.

Technical Capabilities

Event-driven architecture, message streaming and high-throughput data systems.

Distributed Systems — system architecture
<50ms Event latency
Millions Events / sec
Immutable Audit stream
Replayable Any point

Event-Driven Architecture

Apache Kafka and NATS for real-time identity events, fraud signals and audit streams at millions of events per second.

Distributed Databases

Polyglot persistence — PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, Neo4j and time-series — chosen per workload with global replication.

High-Throughput Processing

Stream processing with Flink and Spark for real-time fraud detection and identity analytics.

CQRS & Event Sourcing

Immutable audit log with full event replay for compliance, debugging and temporal queries.

Workflow Architecture

End-to-end processing pipeline

Governed, sequential execution stages powering this identity domain.
