Cold-Standby High Availability for FIX Servers Using Kubernetes StatefulSets
Modern financial infrastructures require highly available and resilient FIX connectivity that can recover predictably from failure scenarios. In this article, we outline a cloud-native cold-standby architecture based on Kubernetes for FIXEdge C++, FIXICC, and solutions built with the FIX Antenna SDK, balancing operational simplicity with strict FIX session correctness.

Uninterrupted FIX Connectivity for 24×7 Markets
The move toward 24×7 exchange operations represents more than an extension of trading hours — it is a structural shift in how markets, infrastructure, and participants operate. As exchanges explore continuous trading models similar to those seen in crypto markets, long-standing assumptions embedded in technology, risk management, and post-trade processing are being challenged. Among the most impacted layers is the FIX interface, which serves as the primary communication channel between exchanges and their clients. This article explores the technical and operational challenges of 24×7 FIX sessions, covering session design, recovery models, message sequencing, maintenance strategies, client impact, and how B2BITS FIX engines enable continuous operation.
