It’s funny how a seemingly meaningless event in one’s life can lead to an unexpected change. For me, one of those events happened in July 2021 when my flight home was delayed by so much that I paid for my very first Uber.
I was so impressed by the experience that I wrote about the underlying payment processor in my “Leveraging Marqeta to Build a Payment Service in Spring Boot” article. I continued to dive deeper into the Marqeta platform, writing about how to create a rewards card and even an article about building a buy now, pay later payment solution.
