99.99% Uptime for a High-Frequency Trading Platform
We rebuilt the deployment and observability backbone of a trading platform processing 4M orders/day, hitting five-nines availability.
The challenge
Northwind’s trading platform ran on a single region with manual deploys every two weeks. A single bad release could halt trading for an hour, and on-call engineers had no visibility into which service degraded first. The platform processed 4 million orders per day, and every minute of downtime was measured in six figures.
The solution
We designed a multi-region Kubernetes platform with GitOps delivery, progressive canary rollouts, and an SLO-driven observability stack. Every service shipped with RED metrics, structured logs, and distributed traces. A canary analysis gate automatically rolled back releases that breached error budgets before they reached full traffic.
Tech stack
Fractal Coders didn’t just hand us infrastructure — they handed us the ability to ship without fear. Our traders don’t know what an outage is anymore.
