Marcos Maia - Bitvavo / Lars Werkman - Bitvavo

As one of Europe’s leading Crypto Exchanges, Bitvavo enables its ~2 million customers to buy, sell and store over 200 digital assets and provides a 24/7 service processing many thousands of transactions per second with stable sub millisecond execution times on its order flow. In this talk we will deep dive on the high level architecture of Bitvavo Exchange and discuss how we use Spring Boot to bridge the integration and monitoring of our systems with the ultra low latency Exchange and Matching Engine Systems. We will cover architectural patterns, lessons learned and good practices routing and processing high volumes of market data to Databases and Kafka while maintaining the high performance and scalability required from the leading Crypto Exchange in Europe.
