The Architecture of a Modern B2B Payment Platform
Building a B2B payment platform that handles millions of transactions daily requires careful architectural decisions. This technical guide covers the complete stack — from frontend to infrastructure — based on Laraware’s production-proven architecture serving thousands of businesses.
4-Layer Architecture
Layer 1: Presentation Layer
- Web Application: Laravel 11 + Vue.js 3 + TypeScript — server-side rendering for SEO, reactive UI for real-time updates
- Mobile Application: Flutter + Kotlin Native — single codebase for iOS and Android with native performance
- API Gateway: REST + GraphQL + WebSocket — multiple protocols for different use cases
- Admin Dashboard: React 18 + Material-UI — fast, responsive admin experience
Layer 2: Intelligence Layer (AI/ML)
- AI/ML Engine: TensorFlow + PyTorch — fraud detection, commission optimization, predictions
- Analytics: Apache Spark + ClickHouse — real-time data processing and analytics
- NLP: BERT + GPT Integration — chatbot, document processing, sentiment analysis
- Computer Vision: OpenCV + Custom Models — KYC document verification, face matching
Layer 3: Data Management
- Primary Database: MySQL 8.0 Cluster — ACID-compliant transactions
- Cache Layer: Redis Sentinel — session management, rate limiting, hot data
- Search Engine: Elasticsearch — transaction search, log analysis, full-text search
- Blockchain: Ethereum + Hyperledger — immutable audit trails, smart contracts
Layer 4: Infrastructure
- Cloud: Multi-Cloud (AWS + Azure + GCP) — no single point of failure
- Containerization: Docker + Kubernetes — auto-scaling, self-healing
- CDN: CloudFlare Enterprise — global content delivery, DDoS protection
- Monitoring: Prometheus + Grafana — real-time system health monitoring
Security Framework
- Application Security: JWT authentication, OAuth 2.0, API rate limiting, CSRF/XSS protection
- Data Security: AES-256 encryption, E2E encryption, database encryption, data masking
- Infrastructure Security: WAF, DDoS mitigation, network segmentation, intrusion detection
- Compliance: PCI-DSS, RBI guidelines, PML Act, GDPR-ready
