Our New HQ

Addition Forex Banks

We have added an additional cluster of Forex banking institutions. Due to adding this, and plans to add more, we have modified the schema of the forex ticks to include the exchange ID. This will be valuable when looking at the prices between forex banking institutions. The Forex schema will be updated April 17, 2018. Since this is a schema addition, and not editing/removing a key, we expect the impact to be low on client application logic. Thanks,

Aggregate Stream Optimizations

We have changed both channels to only broadcast updates on the tickers which have actually had trades in that timespan. Which means the average is ~1000 ticks/second instead of ~8000. This allows better throughput, and less processing messages of tickers that have not changed.

Schema Updates

We are updating the schemas of the TRADES and QUOTES real-time data feeds. All other real-time feeds, and APIs will stay as they are currently.

Infrastructure Upgrades

Over the past 2 weeks we have made several infrastructure changes and upgrades. The changes touched almost every part of the system, therefor you may have noticed breif latency spikes up to 200ms. However we tried to keep the upgrades completely transparent. The upgrades allow for us to add real-time data feeds more easily, with less latency and better message delivery guarantees. Which means better APIs and more data streams for you. Below are some details for the techies who are interested.
