ViaBTC Exchange Server is a high-performance cryptocurrency exchange trading backend written in C, capable of processing up to 10,000 trades per second. It consists of a matchengine, market data services, HTTP and websocket access servers, and an alert center, using MySQL, Redis, and Kafka as supporting infrastructure.

Use cases

• run a cryptocurrency exchange backend
• match orders at high throughput
• push real-time market and user data over websocket
• generate k-line candlestick market data
• store and query trade and balance history
• build a self-hosted digital asset trading platform

When to choose

• you need a battle-tested, high-speed order matching engine
• you are building a crypto exchange and want full control of the backend
• you need real-time websocket push for market and user data
• you can operate the required MySQL, Redis, and Kafka infrastructure

When to avoid

• you need a turnkey exchange with frontend and admin UI included
• you cannot maintain C code or complex multi-service deployments
• you target platforms other than Ubuntu 14.04/16.04 without testing
• you need frequent updates or active community support
