SOLUTION

Our Approach

We designed and implemented a high-performance trading platform using cutting-edge technologies and architecture patterns.

Low-Latency Architecture

We implemented a custom distributed architecture with in-memory processing to achieve sub-millisecond response times for all trading operations.


                            InMemoryOrderBook.processOrder(order) // avg 0.35ms

Data Distribution

We developed a high-throughput data streaming system using Apache Kafka to deliver market data updates to thousands of consumers simultaneously.


                            marketDataStream.publish("FOREX", update)

Fault Tolerance

We implemented a multi-region active-active deployment with real-time replication to ensure continuous operation even during infrastructure failures.
