Deployed on AWS EKS with MySQL, Redis, and Snowflake for analytics, the solution incorporates ML models for trade anomaly detection and Agentic AI to orchestrate autonomous workflows, reducing manual interventions. Robust digital assurance includes CI/CD, TDD, Selenium Grid-based QE automation, automated performance benchmarking, and observability, ensuring reliability, compliance, and fault tolerance.
