Developer on the Data-Sync (DaaS) development team
The data sync dev team uses the Agile Methodology to create, maintain, and improve the software that is used for customer and accounts data sync across Zions and other 27 banks in its network
The team’s goal is to re-platform legacy technology into a new toolset that is more efficient, easier to maintain, and more feature rich
This was done by creating and upgrading RESTful web services and posting data transactions on Kafka topics to sync data near real time across multiple applications
Technologies used: Java, Spring boot, Hibernate, Gradle, Tomcat, MySQL server, Oracle DB, Log4j, IBM MQ, Kafka and Azure Devops tools like GIT repo, Kanban board and Pipelines
Developed a cross-platform application that communicates with multiple up-stream and down-stream applications using IBM-MQ and Kafka and helps other applications to transform and sync data real-time
During transformation there are multiple REST and SOAP end points that application consumes using OpenAPI, Swagger and sends data for sync with accuracy
Developed scheduler tasks that kicks-in within designated time to refresh token and to kick-in restart from failure mechanism
Restart from failure is my solution provided for organization to process any failed transaction and that mechanism is also linked with scheduler tasks by logging each transaction in Database with processing status code
Achieved an 80% reduction in CPU usage of a multithreaded Kafka MQ application by identifying and resolving performance issues through analysis of thread Dump
This resulted in a notable improvement in the application's overall performance
Configured application in all environments as part of releasing application to PROD for first time.
