Hey folks 👋

I’m currently researching the backend architecture required for a cryptocurrency exchange platform, and it’s honestly more complex than I expected.

Here are a few pain points I came across:

  • Order matching and latency: Matching engines must process thousands of transactions per second with sub-millisecond latency.

  • Wallet management: Handling deposits and withdrawals securely across multiple chains adds extra layers of complexity.

  • Data synchronization: Keeping real-time balance and trade data consistent across microservices is tricky.

  • Compliance modules: Integrating KYC/AML verification without affecting UX is a major challenge.

Curious to know:

  • Has anyone here built or tested such scalable trading systems?

  • How would you design the data layer for high-frequency trade events?

  • Any favourite tools or frameworks you’d use for this type of build?

Looking forward to your tech insights — always fun to learn from other builders
