Abstract Within the changing environment of financial technology, the choice of correct architectural paradigm to data ingestion pipelines has a critical effect on system performance, scalability and maintainability. The paper is a thorough comparative analysis of Java Spring Boot framework and microservices architecture to use in designing financial data ingestion pipelines. The paper measures such important metrics as latency, throughput, scalability, fault tolerance and financial services specific compliance requirements. Results have shown that Spring Boot is quick to develop and deploy when the application being developed is moderate in size with a load of up to 300,000 requests per second, whereas microservices architecture is better scaled and resilient when financial data processing is large volume with more than 2 million events per second. The paper will be concluded with evidence-based suggestions to choose right architecture depending on the organizational needs, complexity of the system, constraints in the operations and the level of maturity of the financial institutions. Moreover, this study also determines hybrid solutions that can balance the agility of microservices and the simplicity of Spring Boot operations.
