Judopay launches Shodan to shake up the tech landscape and enable rapid innovation

By Joy Dumasia

Judopay, the leading mobile payments provider, announces the launch of a next-generation technology platform, Shodan. Built with cloud-native architecture, the platform has allowed Judopay to forge ahead in the market and enables innovations such as Judopay’s payment orchestration. This will allow for peerless performance and reliability, whether the volume, time of day, or location. 

The new platform allows for scalable, robust, and consistent software delivery, maximising merchants’ business agility. These traits are essential for merchants as they continually look to adopt solutions that not only perform but enable rapid scale and innovation. Legacy players with dated tech stacks are struggling to keep up with these market advances, and just 1% of Financial Institutions have the entirety of their IT or payments systems in the cloud. With its latest offering, Judopay is working to support the industry in growing this figure. 

Shodan uniquely equips developers with a central toolkit to build microservices, accommodating a reference standard of common service templates and rich programming paradigms to enable the rapid, frequent and reliable delivery of large, complex applications. 

As Shodan’s infrastructure is built to upgrade and launch in record time, Merchants benefit from faster access to the latest products and features. Furthermore, with each project auto-embedded with standards that have been thoroughly tested and certified, the platform offers rapid delivery to the highest quality, security requirements, and regulatory compliance. 

The solution is optimised for pay-tech, with all of Judopay’s Alternative Payment Methods (APMs), including PayPal, Klarna and Pay by Bank App, now backed by Shodan. This illustrates the ability of a seamless transition from Judopay’s existing processing platform and allows its customers to benefit from access to the latest products and features and best-in-class quality. 

Robert Howes, CTO at Judopay, said: “Here at Judopay, we are continually working to enhance our technology and solutions for our customers, which is why we are extremely excited to be launching Shodan, a new standard in payment tech. After executing a data centre exit to Google Cloud Platform in 2019, we have gone from minimal to complete Cloud Native adoption with this solution, allowing a degree of global performance, resilience and scale that is unprecedented within the industry.”
