Building Mission-Critical Financial Services Applications on AWS

This whitepaper discusses the fundamental design patterns to build highly resilient applications for financial institutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS), to meet mission-critical application recovery requirements.
Resilient applications provide continuous service despite disruption. Events such as natural disasters, hardware failures, and human error can interrupt the continuity of an application or service. Financial institutions that do not design and plan for these failures risk application downtime and data loss. This in turn can result in revenue loss, legal and financial implications, impacts to reputation and brand, and customer dissatisfaction.
Financial institutions rely on AWS to provide resilient infrastructure and services. Our Financial Services customers can build their mission-critical applications using AWS services, in order to plan for potential failures, and to meet resiliency requirements.
