IT infrastructure
Build it, run it, move it.
The unglamorous half of running a brokerage: servers that stay up, deployments that do not need a weekend, and migrations that finish.
Where you are now
It works until the day it does not
Trading infrastructure accumulates: a server somebody set up years ago, a deployment only one person can do, a backup nobody has ever restored from. None of it is a problem until it is the middle of a session.
What the work covers
Deployment that repeats
Containerised and scripted, so a release is the same action every time and a rollback is one command rather than an incident.
Monitoring you would actually act on
Alerts tied to what matters to a desk — latency, fill quality, queue depth — rather than CPU graphs nobody reads.
Migrations that finish
Platform moves, data centre moves, cloud moves. Planned against the trading calendar, with a tested way back.
Backups that have been restored
A backup nobody has restored from is a hope. We test the restore, and tell you how long it takes.
Hardening and access
Network boundaries, least privilege and an audit trail — the evidence a regulator asks for, produced as a by-product.
Day-two operations
Patching, capacity and the ordinary upkeep that keeps a quiet month quiet.
The technical answer
How it works in practice
| Runtime | Docker and Kubernetes, on your infrastructure |
|---|---|
| Hosting | Your cloud account or your own hardware |
| CI/CD | Pipelines you own and can read |
| Monitoring | Metrics, logs and alerting, handed over |
| Documentation | Runbooks written for whoever is on call |
