 * First Abu Dhabi Bank Accelerates Cloud Connectivity With Kong


FIRST ABU DHABI BANK ACCELERATES CLOUD CONNECTIVITY WITH KONG

The UAE's largest bank relies on Kong to cut operational costs and enable open
banking

Get Started with Kong



STRENGTHENING THE THREADS OF CUSTOMER-FIRST INNOVATION

Headquartered in Abu Dhabi, First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) is the largest bank in
the United Arab Emirates with an international network spanning five continents.

In line with its commitment to putting customers first, FAB is always looking to
invest strategically in market-leading solutions that will strengthen the
financial well-being of its customers and stakeholders. FAB seeks to ensure that
cutting-edge technology, agility, and innovation are designed into their
processes and infrastructure for their products and services.

Challenge


STITCHING TOGETHER LEGACY AND CLOUD NATIVE USE CASES

With the banking industry transforming at a lightning pace, FAB elected to
refactor its monolithic applications and adopt a microservices-based
architecture. This was done to accelerate development, improve business agility
and enhance the banks overall customer experience.

FAB implemented Kong Gateway Enterprise to advance the bank's company-wide
legacy to cloud-native transformation initiatives and deliver reliable financial
services.

Solution


FAB COVETS KONG’S PLUG-AND-PLAY API GATEWAY

When Jayakumar Ganesan, Head of Service - Digital Platforms at FAB, and his team
evaluated API gateways, they saw Kong's modular plug-and-play design as a major
advantage. It empowered FAB's developers to focus on building business logic,
architects to accelerate time to value and operators to focus on connectivity
management.

"For most API gateways on the market, you typically need to undergo some level
of customization effort to have it properly fit into your existing ecosystem.
Industry-standard plugins that work out of the box are one of Kong's major
strengths. Getting out of the business of writing custom plugins allows us to
focus on building new functionality rather than utilizing more resources to
maintain the API gateway infrastructure," said Jayakumar. "In terms of
manageability, scalability, and agility, what Kong provides us is best in
class."

Results


PROVISIONING FOR A HIGHLY PERFORMANT CONTAINERIZED ECOSYSTEM

FAB is leveraging Kong to efficiently provision and manage high-performance
runtimes across its AWS, Azure, and on-premise environments. The United Arab
Emirates bank is now charting a course to expedite time to market for its
customer-facing applications by scaling its containerized ecosystem.



"We are aggressively moving our APIs into a containerized ecosystem. We
currently have about 200 APIs in production that are running our core business
our goal is to double that number over the next three to five years, and these
will all be powered by Kong," said Jayakumar. "All of our legacy services and
any new APIs we develop will run through the Kong platform by default."


RECAPTURING DEVELOPMENT EFFICIENCY WITH KONG

"As we moved toward microservices, we required a lightweight solution that could
seamlessly align with our multi-cloud and on-premises environments," said
Jayakumar.

Kong's deployment agnosticism, plugin architecture, and ingress controller
designed to enhance service orchestration within containerized architectures
make this possible. As a result, FAB has been able to cut operational costs by
57% and dramatically reduce the need for developers to write infrastructure
code.

"With Kong, we delivered one of our commercial mobile banking applications in
three months instead of seven. We also now save four months of total custom
development time by utilizing Kong's turnkey features and plugins."

"The scalability and agility that Kong provides our bank is best in class
compared to any other service connectivity platforms that we have worked with."

Jayakumar Ganesan
Head of Service - Digital Platforms, FAB
