summary
MATRIXX implements a 5G-ready Cloud Native Charging Function, containerizes a legacy 4G monolith into Kubernetes, and validates it across several public clouds and K8s variants. Built a stateless charging bridge that translates 5G SBA/REST to Diameter to interwork with legacy OCS, and integrates with a CNCF conformity test suite for automated CI/CD checks. Major blockers include SCTP and state issues, carrier-grade HA (five‑nines), end-to-end observability gaps, and incremental migration rather than big‑bang replacement.
