Hi everyone, I'm Sarah Jane, a software development engineer at Publicis Sapient. Today I'm going to walk you through how we can use Sapient Slingshot to build a secure, scalable payment platform that meets international banking standards.
Here's Slingshot's IDE interface. There are a number of tools in the Slingshot ecosystem that help us accelerate the entire software development lifecycle.
Let's begin by creating a backlog, which helps us define the key functional and non-functional requirements for our payment platform. We need to ensure compliance with payment regulations, achieve high throughput, low latency, resilience, and scalability. And now I'll generate the backlog.
As you can see, the Backlog AI has outlined the core requirements for our platform, including a payment initiation service, a payment orchestration service, and a settlement and reconciliation service. These services handle payment requests, manage workflows, and ensure accurate settlements.
Now that we have our requirements, let's move on to designing the platform's architecture. Slingshot generates detailed architecture diagrams and technical specifications. This ensures our system is scalable and compliant. This architecture serves as our foundation for the development process.
Next, we'll leverage Slingshot's JIRA integration to retrieve story details using JIRA IDs and generate API specifications, so different software systems can communicate and work together.
Now that our API specifications are ready, we can generate microservices for each core function, payment initiation, orchestration, and settlement. Slingshot writes clean, production-ready code that seamlessly integrates with our client's systems.
I can also use our security prompts in Slingshot to ensure compliance with any regulations and standards by integrating authentication, encryption, and data protection best practices. Let's review the security configurations.
With built-in testing, we can validate functionality, performance, and security before the platform goes live. Automated checks ensure our payment platform meets industry standards and runs smoothly.
Finally, we can use JIRA acceptance criteria and existing code from our library to generate automation code like feature files using behavior-driven development and step definitions. This makes testing faster and ensures everything works as expected.
And just like that, Slingshot accelerated how we build the components of a payment platform. If you want to learn more about what Slingshot can do, reach out for a live demo today. Today, I'm going to go... whoa.
