OnePipe: Architecting Resilient Economies.
Rebuilding OnePipe's transaction backbone with a cell-based serverless architecture to handle 10M+ daily requests with sub-second latency.
01 / Context
OnePipe acts as the vascular system for embedded finance.
As Africa's fastest-growing open finance platform, OnePipe connects banks, fintechs, and merchants through a single API gateway. Their transaction volume had grown 40x in eighteen months, but the underlying infrastructure had not evolved to match.
The result was a cascading series of reliability incidents that threatened partner confidence and regulatory standing. A fundamental re-architecture was not optional—it was existential.
Key Obstacles
- /Brittle monolithic deployments
- /Unpredictable downstream latency
- /Data consistency across 50+ partners
02 / The Solution
Decoupling for Infinite Elasticity.
We designed a Cell-Based Architecture where each partner operates within an isolated blast radius. Failures are contained, scaling is autonomous, and deployments are zero-downtime by default.
