A guide to resilient, scalable crypto-exchange trading systems, covering RAFT + failover, event-driven architecture, rigorous testing, and migration paths to modern platforms.
For crypto-exchange founders, CTOs, platform owners, and operations leads who need fault tolerance, low latency, and linear scalability during volatile spikes. You’ll find clear patterns for EDA, horizontal scaling, and quality controls that keep throughput high and errors low.
It’s also for teams migrating off legacy stacks without breaking participant APIs, and for leaders planning capacity jumps (e.g., 10k+ orders/sec). The book includes a real-world case study and step-by-step.
You’ll learn how RAFT-based consensus and automatic failover keep matching engines consistent and available, how to apply event-driven architecture for near-real-time flows, and how to scale horizontally without sacrificing latency. The book details testing practices (including large automated suites) to validate resilience under market spikes and cyber-stress.
You’ll be able to plan a phased migration that preserves existing APIs, apply data-integrity safeguards, and brief stakeholders with a concrete example of scaling to 10k+ orders per second delivered in months. The final chapter highlights future-proofing levers such as plugin-based extensibility and FIX-standard interoperability.
