DevOps and Cloud

DevOps for fintech teams whose systems cannot sleep

Trading software runs whenever markets are open, which for some assets is all week. We build and operate the infrastructure that keeps it connected, deployed safely and watched around the clock.

Overview

Trading infrastructure fails in specific ways. A broker gateway logs itself out overnight. A VPS reboots for Windows updates and MetaTrader does not restart. A deploy goes out at 14:29 and breaks order entry at the US open. Generic cloud hosting does not anticipate any of this. DevOps for fintech means designing for those failure modes: automatic recovery, deploys that respect market hours, and monitoring that measures what traders care about, not just CPU load.

We operate seven platforms in production around the clock, so our infrastructure practice comes from living with it. We run IB Gateway with IBC in Docker with failover, host MT5 feed publishers on VPS instances, schedule snapshot jobs for market data, and ship serverless logic as Supabase Edge Functions. Front ends deploy through Vercel behind Cloudflare, and Playwright test gates stop a broken build before it reaches users. The same discipline supports our trading platform builds.

What we deliver

  • IB Gateway and IBC containers with automatic session recovery
  • Hot standby failover for broker connections
  • Windows VPS hardening and MetaTrader auto-restart
  • Infrastructure and pipeline definitions kept in version control
  • Preview deployments for every pull request
  • Playwright end-to-end gates before production releases
  • Market-hours-aware deploy windows with tested rollback
  • Secrets management with no credentials in client bundles
  • Cloudflare DNS, TLS, caching and DDoS protection
  • Alerting to Telegram, email and paging tools
What we build

DevOps and Cloud, built for production.

01

Broker gateway hosting

IB Gateway and similar broker connections run in Docker under IBC, with automated login handling, daily restart windows, health checks and failover to a standby instance when a session drops.

IB GatewayDockerFailover
02

VPS for MT5 and MT4

Windows VPS builds for MetaTrader terminals running Expert Advisors, copiers and feed publishers, with auto-start, crash recovery, controlled updates and remote monitoring of every terminal and account.

VPSMT5
03

Cloud hosting for trading platforms

Front ends on Vercel, APIs in containers, Postgres on Supabase, and edge caching and protection through Cloudflare. Each environment is defined so that staging behaves like production.

04

CI/CD with test gates

Pipelines that lint, build and run Playwright end-to-end tests on every change, with preview deployments for review and release windows that avoid market opens and high-impact news.

CI/CDPlaywright

Monitoring and on-call

Health checks on gateways, feeds, scheduled jobs and order paths, with alerts routed to Telegram, email or your paging tool. Agreed on-call cover means someone responds when a market-hours incident fires.

Scheduled jobs and automation

Snapshot jobs, report generation, data imports and reconciliation runs, scheduled with retries and failure alerts, whether they run as cron containers, edge functions, n8n workflows or Windows Task Scheduler.

Approach

How we deliver it.

Map failure modes

We trace every path from market data in to orders out and list how each part can fail: dropped sessions, reboots, rate limits, expired tokens, full disks. That list drives the architecture.

Containerise and automate

Services move into Docker or managed platforms with health checks and restart policies. Manual steps such as gateway logins and terminal restarts are scripted, so recovery never depends on a person being awake.

Gate every release

CI/CD pipelines build, test and deploy with Playwright checks against critical journeys like login, order entry and checkout. Releases are scheduled around market hours, with a rollback that has actually been rehearsed.

Watch and respond

Dashboards and alerts track gateway sessions, feed freshness, job outcomes and error rates. We agree on-call cover and escalation that fit your trading hours, then review incidents to remove repeat causes.

Why Aurion Labs

The difference is operating experience.

Seven platforms in production

We operate our own live systems 24/7, so our runbooks come from real incidents: gateways logging out, terminals stalling, jobs failing silently. You inherit those lessons from the first day.

Trading-specific plumbing

IB Gateway, IBC, MetaTrader terminals and broker rate limits are not typical DevOps territory. We have containerised, hosted and monitored all of them, alongside conventional cloud services.

Engineers who write the application

The team that runs your infrastructure can read and fix the code running on it. Incidents are diagnosed end to end, rather than bounced between a hosting provider and a development agency.

FAQ

DevOps and Cloud questions, answered.

Still deciding? A 30-minute call usually answers the rest.

What affects the cost of DevOps and hosting work?
The number of services and environments, how many broker connections or MetaTrader terminals need hosting, the depth of monitoring you want and the on-call hours required. Round-the-clock cover for a crypto platform costs more than business-hours support for a weekly reporting job. Cloud and VPS fees are usually billed to your own accounts, so costs stay transparent.
How long does it take to stabilise an existing setup?
We start with an audit of what you run today, then prioritise fixes by risk. Quick wins such as auto-restart, alerting and a secrets clean-up often come first, with containerisation and CI/CD following in planned phases. The audit produces a written plan with sequenced milestones rather than a single deadline.
Who owns the infrastructure and configuration?
Infrastructure runs in accounts you own wherever possible. The pipeline definitions, scripts and configuration we write become yours on full payment unless agreed otherwise in writing. If you change provider or bring operations in-house, you keep everything needed to run the stack.
Can you host systems for a regulated firm?
Yes, as a technology supplier. We build and operate infrastructure to the specification you set, and can work within your outsourcing, data residency and access policies. Regulatory obligations, including operational resilience and any outsourcing notifications, remain with the regulated firm. Aurion Labs is not a regulated entity and does not take on those responsibilities.
How do you keep trading infrastructure secure?
Least-privilege access, separate credentials per environment, secrets held in managed stores, and no broker or API keys in client-side code. VPS instances are hardened and patched on a controlled schedule outside market hours. Cloudflare protects public endpoints, and production access is restricted and logged.
What does ongoing support include?
A support plan typically covers monitoring, alert response during agreed hours, patching, dependency updates, backup checks and a monthly review of incidents and costs. We tune alert thresholds over time so your team is woken only by problems that matter. Larger changes are scoped and quoted separately.
