How much COBOL do you have to write on a daily basis?

[strzalek]

Zero. The whole stack is built in golang from scratch and we integrate with FED over some... interesting protocols.

Using Fedline Command with Axway by chance? E.g. see https://www.frbservices.org/binaries/content/assets/crsocms/... matrix of ways to connect to the Fed.

Would love to know more!

My understanding is they sftp batches of CSV files at eachother.

this is probably closer to the truth that you might have imagined :) that at that most of the $1T+ ACH transfers that happen daily in the US banking system happen over plaintext files and SFTP (source: I've written one of these files)

So I guess that means handling SWIFT MT / ISO 20022 messages is a big part of the custom stack?

Hi, I am an Engineer at Unit.co, a company that also builds Banking as a Service. I can share that not only we do not use COBOL, but our entire backend is written in Pure Functional Scala (and typescript for UI).
