Running Payments on AWS, GCP and Azure at Once

What if you treated a whole cloud provider like an availability zone? Ross McFarlane and Kevin Holditch explain how a payments platform ran on AWS, GCP, and Azure simultaneously, kept processing during a Google Cloud outage, and then chose a different model for the US. Ross McFarlane (Technical Architect) and Kevin Holditch (VP of Engineering) at Form3 rebuilt a payments platform from a fast-moving single-cloud v1 into one that runs active on three clouds at once. It was a response to UK regulators’ concern about concentration risk on a single cloud provider. Recorded at QCon London 2026.
