RUNRun it yourself

Each service domain is its own standalone Spring Boot repository — clone and run in seconds, or deploy onto Kubernetes with the bundled Helm chart behind the Cilium mesh.

# run this service domain standalone
git clone https://github.com/Sreenivas-Sadhu-Prabhakara/sd-card-clearing
mvn -f sd-card-clearing spring-boot:run
curl localhost:8080/v1/service-domain

# or deploy onto Kubernetes (Cilium eBPF mesh)
helm upgrade --install sd-card-clearing ./helm -n bian-operations

FAQQuestions

What is the BIAN “Operate” functional pattern?
An Operate service domain keeps a piece of operational or technical capability running day to day. Card Clearing applies it to the Card Clearing Cycle.
What is a BIAN service domain?
BIAN (the Banking Industry Architecture Network) decomposes a bank into independent service domains, each owning exactly one business capability. Card Clearing is the service domain for Cards; it manages the Card Clearing Cycle Operating Session and exposes it through standard BIAN action terms.
What business area does Card Clearing belong to?
Card Clearing sits in the Operations and Execution business area — the operational core that executes payments, positions, settlements and transactions. It runs in the bian-operations namespace as one independent Spring Boot microservice.
Is Card Clearing production-ready?
It is an educational reference implementation: a real BIAN REST API over an in-memory store, ready to be filled with domain logic. It is not a live bank and is not affiliated with BIAN.
