Architecture Patterns for FinTech
Pattern 1
Standard Node.js architecture patterns
Pattern 2
Best practices for FinTech implementations
Pattern 3
Scalable design for FinTech workloads
Performance
Use streaming for large files, implement connection pooling, cache aggressively with Redis, profile with clinic.js, optimize event loop usage.
Security
Validate all inputs, use helmet for security headers, implement rate limiting, keep dependencies updated, use npm audit regularly.
Scaling
Node.js scales horizontally well. Use clustering or container orchestration for multi-core utilization. Consider serverless for variable workloads.
FinTech Compliance with Node.js
Required Compliance
Implementation Considerations
- Secure payment data transmission
- Tokenization of sensitive card data
- Regular security audits and penetration testing
- Compliance with data retention policies
