In the rapidly evolving world of financial technology, Saxo Bank has been at the forefront of utilizing cloud technology since early 2020. What began as a straightforward objective to harness the scalability and flexibility of cloud computing has evolved into a comprehensive architecture refresh based on "Cloud Native First" principles. Our journey has transitioned from being "fully on-prem" to "fully in the cloud," ultimately leading to a hybrid configuration - in more than one way.

In this talk, we will explore this journey: where we are now, how we got here, and where we are headed. After a high-level overview of Saxo Bank's new reference architecture, we will delve into specifics by examining one of the new OpenAPIs, designed and delivered in alignment with this architecture. Along the way, we will discuss the challenges related to organization, governance, and developer engagement.
