Nigerian mortgage bank modernizing legacy finance infrastructure
Abbey Mortgage Bank operates a 32-year-old mortgage platform built on Node.js/React frontend with SQL Server and IIS backend, now deploying cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure) alongside containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, CircleCI). The tech stack reveals an organization mid-migration from on-premise hosting toward cloud-native operations — a shift underscored by stated pain points around infrastructure optimization and application reliability, areas where their current observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK) is being actively deployed.
