Team: BCaaS Platform | Backend
Project:
Equinix Digital Integration Hub (DIH) is a next-generation architecture developed to transform Equinix's "Quote to Cash (Q2C)" business capability.
Key Contributions:
Instrumental in building the ‘BCaaS’ platform (Business Capabilities as a Service), this innovative platform connects involved business systems through a network of developer-friendly APIs and an event mesh. It provides a self-serviceable, scalable, and secure architecture, enabling programmatic access to Q2C business processes and data.
The platform enabled the organization to decommission legacy systems, reduce go-to-market (GTM) time for new product launches from 6 months to 72 hours, and saved over $80,000 annually to boost profitability.
Designed and launched API endpoints handling 107K monthly hits, enabling Equinix customers to seamlessly access invoice data via the Equinix Customer Portal (ECP), enhancing user experience and operational efficiency.
Engineered scalable, real-time ETL pipelines using JOLT transformations to ingest and process over 15 million records from Oracle Cloud APIs and SharePoint, enabling low-latency data integration.
Orchestrated Kubernetes cluster deployments with Rancher to scale microservices, achieving 90%+ test coverage with Mockito and secured APIs via OAuth2/JWT using Apigee API Gateway.
Improved system performance by 25% through API optimizations, performance tuning, and caching strategies, leading to faster response times in high-traffic environments.
Reduced incidents by 30% and increased uptime by 10% using Grafana for real-time metrics tracking and ElasticSearch for log analysis.
Tech Stack: Java, Spring Boot, SQL, Design Patterns, Apache Kafka, Distributed Systems, Microservices, AWS, REST API Design and Development, Git (Version Control), CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, Apache Nifi, SonarQube, Grafana, AppDynamics, Elastic Stack (ELK), Extract, Transform, Load (ETL)
