[Quickfixj-users] Asking advice for the idea of broadcast the FIX messages using Kafka

[Felipe W. <fel...@gm...>]

Hello everyone!

I'll be happy if any of you could give me some advice about one idea!

I have one drop copy session and I must interpret the FIX messages and
translate them to business tables.

We got a bit worried about doing this in the same application that does the
FIX communication with QFJ help.

Our worry is that this processing could overhead the application and even
crash it in case of some error.

The other application would be listening to the Kafka topic, checking the
sequence number, and processing the messages. If this application
identifies that one message is missing, it would read the FIX LOG table to
fill the gap.

So, what is your opinion? Is this a reasonable idea or perhaps there are
problems here that I wasn't able to see.

Thanks a lot,
Felipe Henrique Gross Windmoller
