Apache Kafka is a high-performance, high-availability, distributed data streaming platform. Since 2018, we have been gathering our experience and references with this technology in order to offer our customers this future proof option in the hybrid or cloud area as an easily expandable, core solution. While active MQ means traditional messaging, Kafka provides assistance in real-time messaging, large-volume data transmission, distributed data storage, transmission, and data processing. We were among the first to introduce Kafka as a central component in the Hungarian banking sector; we currently provide this services to our customers with five experts.

ELK stands for Elasticsearch – a distributed search and analytics engine that provides fast querying in addition to storage and indexing; Logstash – data aggregator engine that collects, filters and transforms data from various sources and then transmits them; Kibana – a data visualization tool, with the help of which queries take on an understandable form for users. We implemented ELK in one of Hungary's largest financial institutions. This solution is particularly helpful for the banking sector in terms of the management, analysis and analytics of huge amounts of data. We currently have five experts helping our customers with the introduction and use of ELK.

EnterpriseDB is a database management platform with full functionality, optimized for large enterprise environments, based on the PostgreSQL database manager. PostgreSQL is an open source system, so a significant cost reduction of up to 80 percent can be achieved by using it. Thanks to its flexibility, it is not only a green field introduction, but also the transition can be easily implemented, especially with regard to Oracle compatibility. And the optional service packages that represent added value cover all the needs of large company use. We have been providing our customers with EDB-related services since 2019. Today, in addition to our large bank client, we also have an Asian reference in this field, and we are waiting for our clients with five experts.

Azure was developed by Microsoft and became one of the largest cloud services. Since 2019, through numerous projects, we have gained a lot of experience in the field of 'enterprise cloud' solutions; in general, we also support the cloud exit strategies of our partners, taking into account the recommendations of the MNB.

Many of our customers prefer Azure among the possible options, often the ability to integrate with Microsoft technologies alone is the decisive argument in favor of its choice, as well as its infinite scalability. With DevOps tools, it is easy to create infrastructure through pipelines (infrastructure as a code - IAAC), and with configuration tools, services can be easily set up; and a high degree of automation is achieved through Terraform and Ansible tools. We are currently waiting for customer requests with three colleagues with a high level of knowledge and experience.
