Kunal Galav + Charith Mendis - Mambu + AWS - Cloud Migration Guide
The video features Kunal Galav of Mambu and Charith Mendis of Amazon Web Services presenting a practical cloud‑migration guide for banks. They argue that moving core banking functions to a cloud‑native platform like Mambu on AWS delivers the agility and scalability traditionally reserved for fintech startups. Key points include the ability to spin up new products in days rather than months, the elimination of costly legacy‑system rebuilds, and the importance of simplifying architecture to accommodate sudden growth spikes. By leveraging AWS’s global infrastructure, banks can achieve near‑instant scaling, ensuring consistent customer experiences during breakout moments. The speakers underscore the choice banks face: “either a fast cloud or a dinosaur,” urging institutions not to reinvent the wheel but to adopt proven cloud‑native cores. They stress that predictability is a myth; the cloud’s elasticity is the only reliable way to meet unpredictable demand. For the banking sector, the guide signals a shift toward rapid digital transformation, reduced operational overhead, and a competitive footing against fintech rivals. Institutions that adopt Mambu on AWS can accelerate innovation cycles, improve trust through reliable service, and future‑proof their technology stacks.
