CONTRIBUTION MAP

Specific ownership, without claiming the whole platform.

This diagram organizes the approved contribution areas. It is not a representation of Kona’s proprietary topology.

01

Service domains

Trade, user, wallet, and fee-management services.

02

Reliable communication

Message queues introduced for inter-service communication.

03

Latency

Caching added to reduce response latency.

04

Security

Two-factor authentication for sensitive trading operations.

ENGINEERING JUDGMENT

Reliability and security belong in the request path.

Asynchronous boundaries

Message queues were used where reliable communication between services mattered.

Latency-conscious access

Caching reduced response latency; the unsupported numerical estimate is deliberately omitted.

Sensitive actions

Two-factor authentication strengthened operations such as buying or selling assets.

EVIDENCE BOUNDARY

What this case study does not claim.

No proprietary code, production topology, client data, traffic volume, internal implementation detail, or performance metric is published. The work is described at the highest level approved by the portfolio owner.
