Operational clarity is non-negotiable when markets move fast. GSocks exposes metrics that matter to engineers and quants: time-to-first-tick, p95 and p99 latency, packet loss, sequence repairs, and reconnect rates by POP. These signals make capacity planning and incident response objective. Resilience features include hot-standby POPs, rapid failover, replay windows for short gaps, and chaos drills that simulate bursts, loss, and route changes. Security starts with TLS or mTLS, IP allow-lists, key rotation, least privilege, and log scrubbing to prevent data leakage. Environment isolation keeps staging experiments away from production credentials. With this foundation, teams can release quickly, diagnose confidently, and meet internal SLOs without sacrificing speed or compliance. Alerts stay actionable because thresholds map to impact. Dashboards surface drift so teams remediate before users notice. Audit trails record routing, key, and policy changes to support regulated workflows.
