📄️ Packaged Data

Various data is contained internally in the tests/test_kit/data folder.

The Rust programming language is an ideal fit for implementing the mission-critical core of the platform and systems. Its strong type system, ownership model, and compile-time checks eliminate memory errors and data races by construction, while zero-cost abstractions and the absence of a garbage collector deliver C-like performance—critical for high-frequency trading workloads.

📄️ Testing

The test suite is divided into broad categories of tests including:
