And just like that, it's #Friday🎉! Today, we want to share a little story about how Razorpay is building a Culture of Cost Optimization. In 2022, we moved most of our workloads to spot instances, saving around 40–50% without compromising availability and performance. What challenges did we face? 🚀 Handling Spot Interruption 🚀 Having fallback instances in case of unavailability Last year, we moved a good chunk of our Data Platform workload to Graviton instances, saving 15-20% in cost. Due to better performance, the number of instances worker nodes required was found to be lesser. Challenges Faced? 🚀 Unavailability of Multi-Arch Docker Images 🚀 Increased Build Time In 2023, we also tried to tackle the problem of overprovisioning in our infrastructure by involving 100s of teams and optimizing 1000s of Microservices through automation. Challenges Faced? 🚀 Lack of Clarity of ownership 🚀 Automating the manual process of optimization. This year, we built a process for automatically moving our workloads from On-Demand to Spot to optimize our infrastructure costs further. We continue to spread awareness about cost among all the engineering teams and build processes/automation to keep it in check. Want to know how?

With great AI comes greater responsibilities! AI systems are trained on data, but if this data is biased, it can lead to unfair perpetuation of stereotypes, misuse of personal data and a lack of accountability. At Razorpay, we have been using machine learning and AI to develop systems and applications that can help businesses improve efficiency, reduce costs, and make better decisions. But creating ethical frameworks is a must. As we start a new week, let's aim to - Stay informed - Ask the right questions - Do the correct research - Prioritize responsible AI development. What’s your biggest concern about the ethical considerations of #AI? Let's chat and build an ethical community. Change starts with us. #MondayMotivation

Razorpay Tech had the privilege to host Natraj Choudhury at Razorpay Arena. It was inspiring to see a seasoned leader like Natraj discuss nuances of Technology and its evolution. His perspectives on scaling systems and designing a robust architecture was an eye opener for most of us. We thank Natraj for hosting him and learning from him.

🚀 Exciting Insights from Razorpay's Tech Conclave! 🚀 Razorpay Tech -> Where relentless innovation unlocks boundless potential The past quarter has been a whirlwind of activity! We've been laser-focused on onboarding new merchants and empowering their growth. Simultaneously, we launched over 50 major features during our flagship event, FTX'24. Our engineering leadership team came together to celebrate the teams' fantastic achievements, reflect on the cutting-edge advancements, and strategize key initiatives for the future. In his keynote address, Murali Brahmadesam inspired us to embrace a long-term vision. He eloquently reminded us of the profound impact of our choices, stating, “Every choice we make is a seed that shapes our future.” Murali underscored the significance of continuous innovation and cultivating quality as a habitual practice, rather than a one-time act. His message deeply resonated with the timeless adage, "We reap what we sow," emphasizing the rewarding outcomes of persistent effort. In a thought-provoking session, Vivek Agarwal shed light on our journey towards creating a unified and connected experience across our multi-product universe for enhanced customer satisfaction. Rizwanul Haque and Vikas Naidu then offered a fascinating look back at our migration from a monolithic API architecture to microservices underlining the significant improvement in latency and performance of our systems. Ravi C. and Narasimha Swamy Ardhani emphasized the importance of "shift left" by advocating for the design of inherently region-aware applications. Our senior engineers Alok Kumar Singh Ashwath Kumar prashant chaudhary Dhruvdutt Jadhav Rajeev Rai Anuj Jain Vikas Naidu delved into key topics like Domain Driven Design, Security principles for robust architecture,   Microfrontends and Data Infrastructure enhancements. These discussions highlighted our commitment to simplifying our architecture and improving scalability while running efficiently. Nurturing a positive work environment and empowering our teams remains a core value for our organization. Highlighting this commitment, Mehul Desai launched the E=NG² program, focused on four key pillars -> cultivating strong Communities, nurturing Innovation, prioritizing continuous Learning, and fostering a culture of Recognition and Appreciation.

Went in to play an April Fools prank at 10 am this morning. Just came out of the meeting.

Elevate by Razorpay was a huge success! Elevate by Razorpay started as a platform to bring together leaders across the industry who are passionate about supporting women in tech. Last week we had our first Elevate event where we had an evening full of networking and sharing their remarkable journeys. We had Kaumudi Oak, Smile Gupta, Sanyogita Sharma, Midhu Luke, Shreshtha Dutta sharing their stories and initiating thought-provoking discussions on a range of topics, including navigating difficult conversations, embracing vulnerability, and authentically expressing oneself. We can’t thank them enough for taking the lead here! We had everyone on the floor taking up a fun activity and sharing their views on elevating women at the workplace. We had a lot of fun hosting it and we extend our gratitude to each and every person who participated and supported in this event. We strongly believe that we need a community where everyone gets to learn from one another beyond just their immediate circles. The first event was a small step towards creating this community. And we’re excited to scale this up further. Here’s to embracing diversity, fostering connections, and Elevating each other on our paths to success! 🚀

In the tech industry, while multinational corporations still have a notable presence of women leaders, startups and smaller firms often struggle to achieve the same level of diversity. And we at Razorpay recognise this disparity. And we want to take an action by launching Elevate, an initiative designed to address this gap head-on 🚀 Elevate isn’t just another event—it’s a platform bringing together a diverse community of leaders across the industry who are passionate about supporting women in tech. We want to go beyond company boundaries and help connect individuals who are seeking connections and opportunities to learn from one another. We're designing Elevate to provide a unique chance for professionals across various sectors, particularly those in startups and smaller enterprises, to step into leadership roles. As a start, we're organising a networking event this Thursday, March 21st at our office 🗓️ Come join us to network, share insights, and get inspired from leaders beyond your immediate circles.
