This document discusses how retail banks can gain a competitive advantage through digital transformation using microservices and containers. It states that without a modern database, businesses can only modernize simple applications or the database is not part of the digital transformation. The document advocates that a container-native database like NuoDB enables increased developer productivity, improved performance through scale-out and caching, and lower operational costs through high availability and disaster recovery.

HOW DO YOU ENABLE DIGITAL
TRANSFORMATION?
It requires an evolution in…
Applications
New ways of developing,
delivering, and
integrating applications
Platform
Modernize existing and
build new cloud-based
infrastructure
Process
More agile process
across both IT and

Sys-Admins / Ops
• Sandboxed application processes on a
shared Linux OS kernel
• Simpler, lighter, and denser than virtual
machines
• Portable across different environments
Developers
• Package my application and all
of its dependencies
• Deploy to any environment in
seconds and enable CI/CD
• Easily access and share
containerized components

SUMMARY
21
+ As Retail Banks modernize their infrastructure to support Digital TransformaKon
iniKaKves, they need to consider:
§ Process
§ Infrastructure
§ Database
+ Without a modern database, businesses are either:
§ Only modernizing simple, non-enterprise applicaKons
- or –
§ The database is not part of the Digital TransformaKon
+ A container-naKve database enables:
§ Increased developer producKvity with DB self-service deployment & usage (CD/CI pipeline)
§ Improved performance with full read/write scale out and integrated in-memory cache
§ Lower operaKonal costs through automated HA/DR
