The Engine Service is the heart of CS Exchange, built in Rust for maximum performance. It handles order matching, maintains real-time order books, executes trades, and broadcasts updates via WebSocket.

Handles HTTP requests for order management and market data.
// Endpoints handled:
// POST /api/orders - Create new order
// DELETE /api/orders/:id - Cancel order
// GET /api/orders - Get user orders
// GET /api/orderbook/:pair - Get order book snapshot
// GET /api/trades - Get recent trades
// GET /api/ticker/:pair - Get ticker dataKey Features:
- Request validation & sanitization
- JWT authentication middleware
- Rate limiting per user/IP
- CORS configuration
Provides real-time market data streaming to clients.
// Subscription channels:
// - orderbook.<market> - Order book depth updates
// - trades.<market> - Real-time trade feed
// - ticker.<market> - OHLCV & volume updates
// - user.orders - User's order updatesKey Features:
- Connection pooling (10,000+ concurrent connections)
- Binary protocol for reduced bandwidth
- Automatic reconnection handling
- Per-channel subscriptions
Core order matching logic with price-time priority.
// Matching algorithm:
// 1. Validate incoming order
// 2. Check balance availability
// 3. Lock required funds
// 4. Match against opposite side of book
// 5. Execute trades at best prices
// 6. Update balances atomically
// 7. Broadcast eventsPerformance Metrics:
- Latency: < 1ms per order match
- Throughput: 100,000+ orders/second
- Order Book Depth: Up to 10,000 price levels
- Concurrent Markets: 1,000+ trading pairs
Data Structures:
// Order Book: BTreeMap<Price, VecDeque<Order>>
// - Sorted by price (best prices first)
// - FIFO queue at each price level
// - O(log n) insertion/deletion
// User Balances: HashMap<UserId, HashMap<Asset, Balance>>
// - O(1) balance lookups
// - Atomic balance updates
// - Separate available/locked trackingHigh-performance order book management.
Structure:
pub struct OrderBook {
bids: BTreeMap<Price, VecDeque<Order>>, // Buy orders (descending)
asks: BTreeMap<Price, VecDeque<Order>>, // Sell orders (ascending)
orders: HashMap<OrderId, Order>, // Fast order lookup
}Operations:
- Add Order: O(log n) - Binary search in BTreeMap
- Remove Order: O(log n) - Find and remove
- Match Order: O(k) - k = number of matches
- Get Best Bid/Ask: O(1) - First element in BTreeMap
Manages user balances with locking mechanism.
pub struct Balance {
available: Decimal, // Free balance
locked: Decimal, // Locked in orders
}
// Operations:
// - lock_balance() - Lock funds for new order
// - unlock_balance() - Release funds (cancel order)
// - transfer() - Move funds between users (trade)Concurrency Safety:
- Mutex-protected balance updates
- Atomic operations using Tokio
- Deadlock prevention strategies
Asynchronous batch writer to PostgreSQL.
Optimization Strategies:
- Batch Inserts: Group multiple trades into single INSERT
- Async I/O: Non-blocking database operations using Tokio
- Connection Pooling: Reuse database connections (pool size: 20)
- Write-Behind Cache: Buffer writes in memory, flush periodically
// Batch write every 100ms or 1000 records
pub struct DatabaseWriter {
buffer: Vec<Trade>,
flush_interval: Duration,
batch_size: usize,
}Caching and pub/sub for real-time updates.
Use Cases:
- Cache: Order book snapshots (TTL: 1s)
- Pub/Sub: Broadcast trade events to WebSocket servers
- Session Store: User session management
- Rate Limiting: Track API request counts
// Pub/Sub channels:
// - orderbook:{market} - Order book updates
// - trades:{market} - New trades
// - ticker:{market} - Ticker updates| Metric | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Order Latency | < 1ms | P99 matching time |
| Throughput | 10,000+ ops/sec | Single instance |
| WebSocket Latency | < 10ms | Event to client |
| Memory Usage | ~2GB | 1000 markets, 100k orders |
| CPU Usage | 40-60% | 4-core system under load |
| Database Writes | Batched | 100ms or 1000 records |

Security Layers:
- Authentication: JWT validation on every request
- Rate Limiting: Per-user and per-IP limits
- Balance Validation: Prevent overdraft attacks
- Order Validation: Size limits, price bounds
- Risk Management: Suspicious pattern detection
