Deployment Scheme: Containerized Environment

We advise deploying the mobile banking application in a containerized environment rather than traditional bare metal or virtual machine (VM) setups. Containers offer several distinct advantages that enhance the development, deployment, and operational efficiency of the application:

Consistent Environments from Development to Production

Containers ensure that the environment in which the application runs remains consistent across all stages of the development lifecycle—from the developer’s local machine to the integration test environment and finally to production. This consistency reduces the risk of environment-specific bugs and simplifies the troubleshooting process, leading to more reliable and predictable deployments.

Mature Orchestration Technologies

With containerization, mature orchestration technologies such as Kubernetes can be leveraged to manage the deployment, scaling, and operations of the application containers. Kubernetes automates many of the complex tasks associated with application deployment, such as load balancing, scaling, and failover, thereby improving resilience and uptime.
