Key Findings

Discovery 1: Three Real Implementations (Not Just Mocks)

Implementation	Type	Purpose	Status
DbnMarketDataRepository	Production	Load from local DBN files	✅ 1,049 LOC, 14 tests
DataProviderMarketDataRepository	Production	Load from Databento API	✅ Ready
PostgresMarketDataRepository	Production	Real-time tick storage	⚠️ Partial

All are production-grade with proper error handling and performance targets.

Discovery 2: Dual-Provider Architecture

Environment Variable Control:

• USE_DBN_DATA=true → DbnMarketDataRepository (local files, fast)
• USE_DBN_DATA=false → DataProviderMarketDataRepository (API, latest)

Use Cases:

• Backtesting: Uses DBN files for reproducible results
• Production: Uses Databento API for live data
• Trading: Stores real-time ticks to PostgreSQL

Discovery 3: Comprehensive Data Provider Integration

Databento (via data crate):

• Market data: OHLCV, trades, quotes, order books
• Real-time: WebSocket streaming (feature-gated)
• Formats: DBN binary, Parquet conversion

Benzinga (via data crate):

• News events with timestamps
• Sentiment analysis
• Analyst ratings, earnings dates

Discovery 4: Service Separation of Concerns

Backtesting Service:

• Loads historical data (DBN or API)
• Runs strategies on historical data
• Stores backtest results

Trading Service:

• Stores real-time market ticks
• Maintains order book snapshots
• Does NOT store historical data locally
• Queries Backtesting Service for historical needs

ML Training Service:

• Queries backtesting service for training data
• No direct data repository implementation

Configuration Examples

Backtesting with Local DBN Files

export USE_DBN_DATA=true
export DBN_SYMBOL_MAPPINGS="ES.FUT:test_data/real/databento/ES.FUT_ohlcv-1m_2024-01-02.dbn,NQ.FUT:test_data/real/databento/NQ.FUT_ohlcv-1m_2024-01-02.dbn"
export DBN_SYMBOL_MAP="BTC/USD:ES.FUT"

cargo test -p backtesting_service

Backtesting with Databento API

export USE_DBN_DATA=false
# API key loaded from Vault (config crate)

cargo test -p backtesting_service

Trading Service (Real-Time)

# Uses PostgreSQL directly for tick storage
# API key loaded from Vault (config crate)

cargo run -p trading_service

Architecture Validation Checklist

✅ Core Principles

• Reuses existing infrastructure (data crate providers)
• Factory pattern for dependency injection
• Environment variables control behavior
• Repository pattern enables swappable implementations

✅ Service Boundaries

• Backtesting: Historical data loading
• Trading: Real-time tick storage
• ML Training: Data queries (not storage)
• TLI: Pure client (no server components)

✅ Error Handling

• Uses anyhow::Result for propagation
• Proper error context with CommonError factory
• Async/await for efficient I/O

✅ No Violations

• ✅ No duplicate ML logic
• ✅ No hardcoded workarounds
• ✅ No configuration leaks outside config crate
• ✅ Single PostgreSQL pool per service

What's Still Missing

⚠️ Areas Identified for Future Work:

1. Redis Cache for Market Data

   • Partial implementation in backtesting (in-memory)
   • Needed: Real-time tick snapshot caching

2. Multi-Timeframe Aggregation in Trading

   • Available: Only in backtesting (resample_bars)
   • Needed: Real-time 5m, 15m, 1h bars

3. Data Quality Validation

   • Missing: NaN/Inf detection
   • Missing: Price/volume sanity checks
   • Needed: Before database persistence

4. Long-Term Storage Strategy

   • Missing: S3 archival for old ticks
   • Missing: Table partitioning by date
   • Needed: Cost optimization

5. Historical Query Delegation Documentation

   • Current: Trading service can query backtesting service
   • Needed: Clear documentation and examples
