Original: What Stock Market Infrastructure Taught Me About Building Pipelines That Don't Lie to You

Short summary

Stock market data pipelines teach lessons applicable to any real-time system where downstream consumers make decisions: consistency matters as much as speed. Key patterns include fan-out with per-consumer sequencing, partitioning by logical identity to preserve causal order, and treating backpressure as a first-class design constraint. The article includes a sequence gap detection implementation showing how to catch dropped or duplicated messages explicitly.

  • Latency in market data pipelines is a correctness concern not just a performance metric
  • Fan-out with per-consumer sequencing and partitioning by logical identity preserves causal ordering
  • Backpressure must be explicit in the protocol to prevent unbounded buffers from becoming slow crashes
