And it's also interesting that they can outsource their compute to AWS because AWS's nearest data centers are in Hong Kong & Singapore. I didn't realize a bank would allow that.
- latchkey 3y agoI thought it, but I wasn't going to say it. Vietnam's internet connection is notoriously unstable. The running joke is that sharks attack the fiber connections [0] because pointing fingers is a national past time. The fact that a major bank is relying on an external AWS like that, makes it even more comical. My guess is that nobody in corporate approved this guys posting and if word got back, it would disappear quickly. Reminds me to forward this to my buddies who run Timo, which VPBank used to own, but then dropped [1]. Timo was the first forward thinking bank in Vietnam with a great tech platform, likely because it was started and run by foreigners... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
