The workflows Kestra orchestrates across every division of a modern financial institution, from the core to the regulator.
Core Banking & Modernization
Core Banking CDC & Mainframe Modernization
Strangle the mainframe, domain by domain. Stream Debezium from Oracle, DB2, and Teradata to modern lakehouse layers.
Intraday Liquidity & Cash Positioning
Pull positions from custodians, forecast flows, stress funding, and push decisions to the core. Every hour, not every midnight.
Intraday Nostro & Cash Reconciliation
Match SWIFT MT940/950, correspondent feeds, and internal ledgers in real time. Auto-route breaks with a signed audit trail.
Payments & Transactions
RTGS, SEPA Instant & FedNow Settlement
Validate, route, settle, and post across card networks and instant rails with idempotency, retries, and strictly enforced SLA guarantees.
AML Transaction Monitoring
Correlate transactions against watchlists, sanctions, and behavioural baselines. Generate SARs automatically with full data lineage.
Real-Time Fraud Scoring at Scale
Fan-in vendor threat-intel, enrich in dbt, score with ML, and route to fraud products. The pattern tier-1 banks run across billions of rows.
Risk, Compliance & Reporting
FINREP, COREP & BCBS 239 Submission
Pull positions, transform with dbt, gate on four-eyes approval, and submit. Every cutoff fully replayable with transparent lineage.
Trade Surveillance & P&L Explain
Ingest trade events, compute end-of-day marks, run explain-shift analytics, and fan results to front office, risk, and finance teams.
Model Risk Governance & MLOps
Train, validate, deploy, and monitor scorecards and fraud models. Champion/challenger flows gated by strict approval steps.
Operations & Security
KYC & Document Intelligence
Orchestrate OCR, LLM extraction, adverse-media screening, and human review into one seamless, declarative onboarding workflow.
Financial Close & Consolidation
Orchestrate ERP extracts, journal postings, intercompany eliminations, and multi-entity consolidation to achieve a 3-day close.
Cybersecurity & Platform Automation
Automate certificate management, config tests, vulnerability scans, and incident response via declarative pipelines.

Enterprise-Grade Orchestration, Engineered for Banking.
Air-Gapped & Sovereign Deployment
Self-hosted, VPC, or fully air-gapped. EU or US data residency. Segment control plane and workers across restricted zones with zero egress required.Immutable, Replayable Execution
Every flow is YAML in Git. Every execution frozen in time. Replay any historical cutoff with the exact code, secrets, and inputs, in one click.Four-Eyes Approval Gates
Pause any workflow pending human sign-off. Enforce mandatory dual-control for regulatory submissions, model promotions, and production deployments.RBAC & Multi-Tenant Isolation
Namespace-scoped RBAC with SSO/SAML/SCIM. Every division owns its secrets and runtime on a shared platform. Zero blast radius.Audit Logs & SIEM Integration
Every execution, user action, and resource change recorded. Stream logs directly to Splunk, Elastic, or your preferred SIEM.What engineers build with Kestra
Three production patterns running at tier-1 banks today. Copy the YAML. Wire it to your stack. Ship it through your CI.
Real-time fraud scoring
EOD reconciliation
Regulatory reporting
Score vendor threat-intel feeds hourly, at billions-of-rows scale.
Pull intel, stage in S3, enrich with dbt, score in Trino, page on-call on failure. A production pattern running across billions of cybersecurity records at tier-1 banks.
Close the books against the core, with a 2-hour SLA and zero silent failures.
Extract from Oracle, reconcile in Python, assert controls, publish a signed audit bundle. Retries, exception routing, and mail alerts are declarative primitives.
Submit FINREP with lineage any auditor will sign off on.
Gather positions, transform with dbt, require four-eyes approval, submit to the regulator. Every cutoff replayable, on demand, years later.
