In this presentation we look at the use of the Hortonworks Data Flow (HDF) platform application in the finance sector operations. We define the process of deployment and use of the distribution as part of the operations and how the different components are integrated to support real-time payments and banking functionality. Documenting the challenges faced to allow a high performance system that promotes data integrity and real-time visualisation using the Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP). Focusing specially on the use of Apache Zeppelin workbooks across the business as they main information management tool. Our specific approach focus on creating a flexible system that allows fast prototyping and integrated visualisation, monitoring and audit. Demonstrating the use of the HDF distribution on the creation of business domain abstractions to in a real life application of a Domain Driven Design. We implement a cross platform use of Avro, as future prof model and language that is understood by the business and IT areas. Due to the scalability of the platform we can execute payments operations at high rate even across countries at the same time reusing the same architecture to monitor the business operations.
