Join the workshop and take your first step into the world of startups and innovation!

During the webinar, ART-Fintech experts will talk about modern approaches to building a highly accessible container infrastructure for financial organizations that ensures the continuous operation of critical services even in the event of hardware, software, or entire sites failures.

In the webinar program:

1. Fault-tolerant container cluster

• fault tolerance levels of container infrastructure;
• clustering of management and work nodes;
• service replication and automatic application recovery;
• eliminating single points of failure.

2. Load distribution and balancing

• balancing external traffic;
• Ingress controllers and service balancing;
• horizontal application scaling;
• peak load handling;
• automatic service availability monitoring.

3. Data and storage fault tolerance

• ensuring high availability of PostgreSQL, MongoDB and other databases;
• OpenSearch/ELK fault-tolerant search clusters;
• distributed file and block storage (Piraeus/LINSTOR, Ceph);
• data protection, replication, and disaster recovery;
• differences between replication, backup, and archiving.

4. Distributed Platforms and Disaster Recovery

• building infrastructure in multiple data centers;
• Active-Passive, Active-Active, and "warm" reserve schemes;
• one distributed cluster or several independent clusters;
• synchronization of applications, databases, and storage;
• RTO and RPO indicators;
• scenarios for switching to a backup site and returning after an accident.

A practical example

At the end of the webinar, an example of building a fault-tolerant container platform, including application services, databases, a search cluster and distributed storage, will be considered.
