Launching a crypto trading platform requires more than just writing code — it demands a secure, scalable, and compliant foundation designed from the ground up. From the very beginning of this project, Mesoform was entrusted with complete ownership of the technical architecture and delivery.
Our scope extended far beyond DevOps and cloud engineering. We were responsible for shaping the blueprint of the entire system: infrastructure design, platform engineering, software delivery, UI integration, and compliance with internal governance and external regulatory standards.
By guiding every layer of the project, we enabled a fast-growing startup to launch with confidence — knowing their trading app could scale globally, meet compliance demands, and remain secure against threats.
The startup needed to deliver a trading app that could:
Scale rapidly to meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of users executing real-time investments and automated trades.
Maintain a lightweight, cloud-native footprint to reduce operational overhead.
Comply with internal governance requirements and regulatory security standards critical to the financial sector.
Protect sensitive customer data and financial transactions from a broad range of cyber threats.
The institution’s first-generation IDP (v1), launched in 2017, had been a success story in itself. It streamlined development, supported thousands of projects, and proved that large-scale platform engineering could be done within the strict demands of the financial industry. But as the platform team planned for its next wave of growth, without significant investment in people, we needed to find a way to hyperscale.
The challenge was not just about straight-up growth.
The platform also had to:
In short, they needed more than just deployment support — they needed a holistic technical architecture that balanced functionality, security, and compliance from day one.
Mesoform designed and implemented a serverless, container-based infrastructure that addressed scalability, compliance, and security in equal measure:
Designed the system end-to-end, ensuring alignment with compliance frameworks and secure-by-default principles.
Designed the system end-to-end, ensuring alignment with compliance frameworks and secure-by-default principles.
This wasn’t just about building infrastructure — it was about engineering trust into every layer of the system.
The outcome was a trading app environment that was:
Public access was cut off by default, with Cloud Armor providing regulatory-grade protection while preserving full functionality.
The architecture embedded controls and governance practices to satisfy both internal and regulatory compliance requirements.
Cloud Run autoscaling ensured seamless performance during peak trading periods.
Unified container and deployment pipelines reduced operational overhead and ensured long-term maintainability.
The result was a platform that delivered not only speed and agility but also trust and resilience — essential qualities in the crypto and financial services space.
By taking ownership of the project from the very beginning and designing a compliant, secure, and scalable architecture, Mesoform enabled a crypto startup to launch a trading app with the confidence that it could grow, stay protected, and meet industry standards.
As IT specialists, Mesoform helps businesses overcome complex technical challenges with solutions that balance innovation, compliance, and long-term sustainability.
