In the world of electronic trading, success is measured in microseconds and protected by layers of security. Every firm, from global institutions to independent IBDs and RIAs, faces the same dual challenge: be faster than the competition and more secure than the threats. A delay of a few milliseconds can mean a missed opportunity, while a single security lapse can be catastrophic.

That’s why we are thrilled to announce the release of FIX Flyer Engine 10.0.0. This isn’t just an incremental update; it’s a fundamental upgrade to our core technology, designed to deliver a decisive advantage in performance and a new standard in security.

The Heart of the Upgrade: A 20% Performance Boost with Java 21 LTS

At the core of Engine 10.0.0 is our move to Java 21 Long-Term Support (LTS). But what does that mean for you?

First and foremost, it means speed. By leveraging the latest advancements in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), we’ve clocked a 15-20% performance improvement over our previous versions. This translates directly to faster message processing and lower latency in your trading workflow. For traders, this means quicker execution. For IBDs and RIAs, it means delivering a superior experience for your clients where every microsecond can impact execution quality.

Beyond the immediate speed gains, Java 21 LTS provides a stable, secure, and future-proof foundation, with support guaranteed through 2031. It’s a strategic choice that ensures your technology investment is sound for the long haul.

Fortifying Your Architecture: Modern Security for Modern APIs

As firms adopt more flexible, API-driven architectures, the need for robust security has never been greater. Engine 10.0.0 addresses this head-on by introducing Authentication for HTTP REST endpoints.

This new feature allows you to secure critical trading pathways with the same credentials that protect your core engine. You can now confidently expose REST APIs for order management or data access, knowing that every request is authenticated and authorized. It provides the perfect balance: the flexibility of modern APIs combined with the ironclad security your business demands.

For the technically inclined, implementation is straightforward. By adding a simple <secure-path> configuration, you can immediately lock down any REST endpoint, requiring all incoming requests to provide valid credentials.

What This Means for Your Business

Whether you’re an existing client or considering FIX Flyer for the first time, Engine 10.0.0 is designed to deliver tangible business value:
