The Problem Space
Understanding constraints before writing a single line of code — what SCT Inst actually demands, who the actors are, and why classical architectures fall short.
Deep dives into SEPA Instant Payments, ISO 20022, Java 25 and the craft of building payments infrastructure at scale.
From the 10-second regulatory constraint to production incident response — this series walks through every layer of building an instant payment system that holds up under real load: architecture, performance, fraud, resilience, compliance, infrastructure, security and the human side of shipping it.
Understanding constraints before writing a single line of code — what SCT Inst actually demands, who the actors are, and why classical architectures fall short.
Everything you need to actually use data structures and algorithms in production — not textbook trivia, but what each one costs, what it's for, and when to reach for it. Arrays through Tries, Bit Manipulation and Topological Sort, with real Java 25 code.
