Summary LX1. I developed a scalable notification system, which allowed a financial institution to track the workflow status, ensuring compliance with high-security standards
Situation
  • A financial institution with 10,000 employees had no way to check the status of their workflows after triggering them.
  • This led to uncertainty and inefficiency in their daily operations.
Task My mission was to develop a notification system that informed users about their workflow execution status while following strict security protocols.
Action
  • I developed the system using an event-driven architecture
  • I deployed the system in a closed network:
    • I ensured the final system met all security requirements for that environment.
Result As a result, the system successfully provided secure and scalable workflow notifications. Users were kept informed of their progress.
Challenge A key challenge was the closed network environment, where the system needed to be deployed. This environment had strict traffic management and access restrictions.
Solution To solve this,
  • I explicitly defined all necessary inbound and outbound traffic rules. These allowed essential communication while maintaining network isolation.
  • I configured a secure firewall policy. It strictly controlled access to and from the notification system. This ensured compliance with security standards.
Learning I learned that with a well-designed solution, I can still deliver important user features even in strict security and network environments.
