Hi all,
Another busy few weeks for us and we are back to provide a quick update on all the developments since our last update. We also want to wish everyone a happy holiday season and hope that you get to spend it with friends and family, full of love and laughter.
Since our last update, we have fully implemented a public REST API and hmac authentication as well as make countless improvements and optimisations to the system. Here is the list of items that has been worked on and completed:
- Developed and implemented of the public REST API / hmac authentication
- Created GUI to issue/authorize/revoke API keys
- Changed order cancellation logic so that it can provide direct uuid feedback to the API
- Changed withdrawal to allow direct withdrawals through the API
- Optimised order matching algorithm and enable shorter lookup paths
- Load and stress testing of the order processor backend
- Load and stress testing of the trading UI
- Improved FIFO order system to utilize multi threading to efficiently match order parallel over markets.
- Enforced message/ frontend updates to happen in the right sort order
- Made the orderbook more efficient by loading limited items initially and load/show more when scrolling is applied.
- Improved client side array lookups so that the client can handle load much better.
- Optimization of the database queries to maintain atomic balances.
- Improvement of database queries (overall)
- Made “cancel all orders” work as batch job to reduce server load with lots of open orders
- Scalability testing / running the front and backend in a load balanced environment
- Improved visibility for red/green blinking items
- Made order weight bar and sum column calculation more efficient
