Mistake #5: Building a monolithic exchange architecture 🏗
At the beginning, a tightly coupled system feels easier and faster to build.
But problems appear as soon as you try to scale.
Need to upgrade the risk engine without affecting the matching engine?
Need to scale one service independently?
Need to launch new trading products without rewriting core infrastructure?
That’s where monolithic systems break down.
And when they fail, they usually fail all at once — at the worst possible time.
The better approach:
build modular, embeddable infrastructure from day one.
Matching, risk, liquidity, and compliance should all operate independently while integrating seamlessly together.
That’s exactly how 6MM is designed. 🔐
