PROJECT OVERVIEW

High-frequency trading platform handling 1M+ transactions per second with strict sub-10ms P99 latency guarantees.

This project showcases our expertise in solutions architecture, delivering a robust solution that exceeds industry standards for performance, reliability, and maintainability.

THE CHALLENGE

PROBLEM

An algorithmic trading firm was losing $40K/day to latency spikes caused by their Ruby-on-Rails monolith struggling beyond 8,000 TPS.

OUTCOME

Re-architected in Go with a lock-free order book and co-located Redis, achieving 1M+ TPS at sub-10ms P99 with zero data loss in 18 months of production.

ARCHITECTURE & CODE

order-book.go
Go
1// Lock-free order book using atomic operations for maximum throughput
2type OrderBook struct {
3 bids *skiplist.SkipList // price-descending
4 asks *skiplist.SkipList // price-ascending
5 seq atomic.Uint64
6}
7
8func (ob *OrderBook) Match(order *Order) []Fill {
9 seq := ob.seq.Add(1)
10 order.Seq = seq
11
12 if order.Side == SideBuy {
13 return ob.matchAgainst(order, ob.asks, func(p, q float64) bool {
14 return p <= q // buy fills if ask <= buy price
15 })
16 }
17 return ob.matchAgainst(order, ob.bids, func(p, q float64) bool {
18 return p >= q // sell fills if bid >= sell price
19 })
