Microservices Architecture for InsurTech — UK Specifics
InsurTech Microservices Domain Model
UK InsurTech microservices domain boundaries: Policy Administration Service (policy lifecycle — quote, bind, endorse, cancel, renew), Claims Service (FNOL, assessment, settlement, recovery), Pricing Service (rating engine — actuarial models, pricing factors), Document Service (policy documents, certificates of insurance), Payment Service (premium collection, claims payment), and Distribution Service (broker/MGA/direct channel management). Lloyd's integration: a separate Lloyd's Integration Service handles CDR, Risk Exchange, and slip placement.
FCA PS21/3 and InsurTech Microservices
FCA PS21/3 Important Business Services for an insurer: Policy Administration (customers must be able to access their policy), Claims Handling (customers must be able to report a claim), and Premium Payment (customers must be able to pay). InsurTech microservices: each IBS maps to a service — independent deployment ensures a bug in the Pricing Service cannot take down Claims Handling. Impact Tolerance testing: simulate Policy Administration Service failure → Claims Handling continues independently → test confirmed.
Solvency II UK Reporting from Microservices
Solvency II UK (retained post-Brexit): quarterly Quantitative Reporting Templates (QRTs) to PRA. InsurTech microservices data for Solvency II: premium data from Policy Administration Service, claims data from Claims Service, investment data from Finance Service. Solvency II reporting pipeline: event-driven data collection (services publish premium/claims events) → Solvency II reporting database (aggregated from events) → QRT generation (automated from reporting DB). PRA reporting API: ClickMasters integrates with PRA Gabriel for automated QRT submission.
Lloyd's Blueprint CDR in Microservices Architecture
Lloyd's Digital Blueprint Core Data Record (CDR): structured electronic placement data. InsurTech microservices: Policy Administration Service generates CDR on policy bind → CDR validation (JSON schema check) → Lloyd's Risk Exchange submission (Lloyd's Integration Service). CDR event: PolicyBound event published to event bus → Lloyd's Integration Service subscribes → CDR generated and submitted. Slip workflow: electronic slip generated from Policy Administration Service data → broker approval → Lloyd's endorsement via Risk Exchange API.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about insurtech software development.
How does FCA PS21/3 affect InsurTech microservices design?
FCA PS21/3 directly influences InsurTech microservices design: (1) IBS boundaries map to service boundaries — Policy Administration, Claims, and Payment are natural microservices because they correspond to FCA-defined business services. (2) Each IBS must have its own resilience — independent deployment, independent database, independent monitoring. (3) Impact Tolerance testing must be automated — ClickMasters builds quarterly DR tests as automated scripts. (4) Service catalogue: every service has a runbook, SLA, and named service owner for FCA PS21/3 documentation.
What is the right number of microservices for a UK InsurTech?
ClickMasters guideline for UK InsurTech: 7–10 services for a full insurance platform (Policy Administration, Claims, Pricing, Document, Payment, Distribution, Lloyd's Integration, Notification, Reporting). Each service should be independently deployable by a 2–3 person team. Anti-pattern: 30+ services for an InsurTech with 15 engineers — the operational overhead dominates delivery time. Start with 7–10, extract additional services only when a genuine independent deployment or scaling need arises.
