Case study
Cloud Trading Webhook Server
A cloud-deployed webhook service for receiving trading signals, parsing gateway messages, and coordinating order-flow infrastructure.
Overview
A trading infrastructure project that routes external strategy signals through a cloud service and into broker/gateway order-flow handling.
Problem
Live trading integrations need more than a webhook endpoint. They need message parsing, clear observability, idempotent state handling, and enough deployment discipline to trust the system under pressure.
What I Built
- A cloud-hosted signal receiver for strategy webhook events.
- Gateway message parsing for SignalR-style payloads and order update events.
- Operational logging that exposes order IDs, status changes, contract identifiers, side, size, fees, and timestamps.
Technologies Used
- Cloud deployment
- Webhooks
- SignalR
- Trading APIs
- Operational logging
Key Technical Challenges
- Parsing nested gateway messages reliably while preserving the fields needed for audit trails.
- Separating signal intake from execution-state feedback so the service can reason about pending, filled, and updated orders.
- Making runtime logs detailed enough for debugging without burying the important order lifecycle events.
