Dasari, Gurunath (2025) Market data infrastructure: Core components and integration patterns. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 26 (1). pp. 3439-3447. ISSN 2581-9615

An extensive review of market data infrastructure in quantitative finance is provided in this article, along with a discussion of the essential architectural components and integration patterns needed for modern trading operations. High-performance market data systems are supported by their discussion of time-series database architectures, pipeline orchestration frameworks, data validation techniques, multi-vendor feed normalization, and fault-tolerance tactics. The article describes how financial institutions can maintain the low-latency, high-reliability requirements necessary for competitiveness while effectively managing the increasing complexity, volume, and velocity of market data across international markets. The text emphasizes the technical underpinnings of sophisticated trading strategies, regulatory compliance, and reliable operations across a range of asset classes and market regimes, from proprietary timestamp synchronization protocols to advanced query optimization techniques.
