Technology · Infrastructure
Built for market hours.
Markets do not wait for a maintenance window. The infrastructure is designed around the assumption that the busiest moment and the least forgiving moment are the same moment.
- What it is
- The hosting, scaling, monitoring and recovery model behind the platform.
- Who it is for
- Platform and operations teams responsible for uptime.
- Why it matters
- A platform that degrades at the open is worse than one that is slightly slower all day.
- How it connects
- Market connectivity, application services and the data layer scale independently.
- What happens next
- A technical session covering capacity, monitoring, incident process and recovery objectives.
What is inside
01
Managed hosting
Cloud infrastructure with infrastructure-as-code provisioning.
02
Horizontal scaling
Application and streaming layers scale independently of the data layer.
03
Session isolation
Provider and feed sessions isolated so one degradation is contained.
04
Monitoring and alerting
Health, latency and error-rate monitoring with defined escalation.
05
Deployment
Progressive deployment with rollback, avoiding changes during peak sessions.
06
Recovery
Defined recovery point and recovery time objectives, tested rather than assumed.
Ask about the last incident
Operational maturity is easier to judge from how a provider handles failure than from an uptime figure.
