๐Ÿ’ก Why This Platform Exists

Most small and medium businesses using M-PESA lack structured, tenant-aware analytics tools. This platform demonstrates how a production-scale fintech analytics backend can be designed using microservices, gateway patterns, and tenant isolation โ€” directly applicable to SaaS and embedded finance environments.
