System Architecture Overview
Core Design Principles
- Ultra-Low Latency: Sub-millisecond order execution and data processing
- High Throughput: Support for 100,000+ orders per second
- Resource Efficiency: Optimized memory and CPU utilization
- Network Optimization: Co-location and direct market access
Scalability by Design
- Horizontal Scaling: Add nodes to increase capacity linearly
- Microservices: Loosely coupled, independently scalable services
- Stateless Design: Services can be replicated without state concerns
- Load Distribution: Intelligent routing and load balancing
Enterprise Reliability
- Fault Tolerance: Automatic failover and recovery mechanisms
- Data Consistency: ACID compliance where needed, eventual consistency where appropriate
- Comprehensive Monitoring: Real-time observability and alerting
- Multi-Layer Security: Encryption, access controls, and audit trails
