VELES Cloud Infrastructure: 99.99% Uptime Achieved

By Infrastructure Team

We're excited to announce that VELES has achieved 99.99% uptime over the past 12 months, processing billions of transactions without a single minute of unplanned downtime. This milestone reflects our commitment to providing ultra-reliable risk management infrastructure.

Architecture Overview

Our cloud-native architecture leverages cutting-edge technologies and best practices to ensure maximum availability and performance.

Global Distribution

VELES operates from multiple geographic regions to ensure low latency and high availability:

  • Primary regions: London (LD4), New York (NY4), Tokyo (TY3)
  • Edge locations: 47 points of presence globally
  • Automatic failover between regions
  • Data replication with sub-second synchronization

Redundancy at Every Layer

Our infrastructure implements multiple levels of redundancy:

  • Network: Multiple ISPs with automatic BGP failover
  • Compute: Auto-scaling clusters with 3x capacity overhead
  • Storage: Multi-region replicated databases with point-in-time recovery
  • Application: Blue-green deployments with instant rollback capability

Performance Optimization

Global CDN Integration

Our custom CDN configuration ensures optimal performance regardless of broker location:

  • Average global latency: 23ms
  • Cache hit ratio: 94%
  • DDoS protection with 10Tbps capacity

Database Performance

Our database infrastructure handles massive transaction volumes with ease:

  • 100,000+ transactions per second sustained throughput
  • Sub-millisecond query response times
  • Automatic sharding and load balancing
  • Real-time replication across regions

Security Measures

Security is integral to our infrastructure design:

  • End-to-end encryption for all data in transit and at rest
  • Hardware security modules (HSMs) for key management
  • SOC 2 Type II certified data centers
  • 24/7 security operations center monitoring

Monitoring and Observability

Our comprehensive monitoring stack provides complete visibility:

  • 1,000+ health check endpoints monitored every second
  • Machine learning-based anomaly detection
  • Distributed tracing for all transactions
  • Real-time alerting with 30-second response time SLA

Disaster Recovery

Our disaster recovery capabilities ensure business continuity:

  • RPO (Recovery Point Objective): 1 minute
  • RTO (Recovery Time Objective): 5 minutes
  • Automated failover testing weekly
  • Full disaster recovery drills quarterly

Client Benefits

This infrastructure excellence translates to tangible benefits for our clients:

  • Zero downtime during maintenance windows
  • Consistent sub-second response times globally
  • Unlimited scalability for traffic spikes
  • 99.99% SLA with financial backing

Future Enhancements

We're continuously improving our infrastructure with planned enhancements including:

  • Edge computing for ultra-low latency processing
  • Kubernetes-based container orchestration
  • GraphQL API for optimized data fetching
  • Blockchain integration for immutable audit logs
