Linux is rapidly becoming the dominantcompute engine for the banking industry, whether on-premises(on-prem) or in the cloud. And open source technologies areincreasingly prevalent across all levels of the technology stack,including databases, development tools, security components,and now agentic management. Some banks have gone all-in:notably, innovative banks such as Nubank, a Brazilian digitalbank offering low-cost financing through a user-friendly app,have adopted 100% open source models. As I reflect on my discussions withhundreds of clients worldwideover the last year, it’s clear that thefuture of banking is being reshapedby open source systems. Today,banks’ technology stacks are highlycomplex, dominated by costlyand inefficient legacy systems.Within these systems lies a mixof both strategic capabilities andnecessary foundational elements.
