ready for production use?

[erikash]

Hi,
I'm the CTO of a Fintek startup, we require a fix protocol solution and nearing production in a couple of months.

First, congrats!
The project is very impressive! and I think that it's a very important contribution to the open-source community and to the FIX community in particular.

In the next couple of weeks we'll start integration with a sell side broker.

@cbusbey : After seeing this repository we started wondering :

1. Is it ready for production use in your opinion?
2. Are you planning on maintaining it for the next couple of months/year?

Thanks in advance,
Erik.

Hi Erik,

Thanks, we're happy to have our work appreciated :)

The QuickFIX/Go project is lacking many of the features available in it's sibling C++/Java/C# implementations. Off the top of my head, a persisted store/logging and session scheduling are features that in the past have been rather important for production support. But that being said, QuickFIX/Go was designed with those features in mind- I've worked with and contributed to all of today's flavors of QuickFIX.

My involvement in QuickFIX/Go will be in a reduced capacity going forward, but my former employer and good friends at Connamara Systems have a stake in supporting and evolving QuickFIX/Go. Connamara is also the maintainer of the very successful QuickFIX/n. If you are interested in support, you could not find a more capable team than Connamara.

Hi Erik,

Just a quick update here. I am happy to report that I am back at Connamara and will be looking forward to continue to maintain QuickFIX/Go.

Thanks!
That's great new for us :)
Currently we're working with a proprietary API implemented in C++ with node.js bindings.

I'll be looking forward to working with this library, good luck! 👍
