Request queuing is a system design pattern where incoming requests are temporarily stored in a buffer before being processed, typically when the rate of arrival exceeds the system’s immediate processing capacity. In RFQ crypto systems or institutional trading platforms, this mechanism holds incoming quote requests or trade orders until resources become available. Its purpose is to manage system load, prevent overload, and ensure orderly processing of requests without discarding them, thereby maintaining data integrity and service reliability.
Mechanism
The operational mechanism involves a dedicated queue data structure where requests are added upon arrival and retrieved by processing units. Queues often operate on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, but can also incorporate prioritization logic. When a processing unit completes its current task, it fetches the next available request from the queue. This asynchronous processing decouples request submission from execution, providing a buffer against transient spikes in demand.
Methodology
The methodology for implementing request queuing focuses on designing a robust and scalable buffer that can handle anticipated peak loads without excessive latency. System architects define queue capacities, processing rates, and overflow policies to prevent service degradation. In high-volume crypto RFQ environments, effective queuing ensures that no legitimate quote requests are dropped, providing a fair and stable environment for institutional participants even during periods of intense market activity.
Smart Trading logic internalizes API limits as a finite budget, allocating requests via a prioritized gateway to ensure critical execution under any market condition.
