Intuit's Quickbooks Online Payroll Enterprise, a critical application serving over 2 million customers, processes over a million transactions and $34 billion in payroll taxes. We're modernizing with a heavy investment in event-driven architecture for effective handling of financial data. This major transition extends beyond just the payroll platform; it involves decomposing complex systems across Intuit products using event-driven architecture and a focus on availability, scalability, and security is crucial. To address challenges like autoscaling for high throughput, low latency, better operational excellence, and development productivity, we have built our modernized platform on Numaflow, an open-source, Kubernetes native, language-agnostic platform. In our presentation, we will share our journey of modernizing our stack using event-driven serverless architecture on Numaflow and highlight the advantages it has brought to our developers and technology infrastructure.
