chives-exchange 0.1.1

Stock exchange with a matching engine and webserver

chives-exchange

Implementation of a stock exchange with matching engine and a web UI powered by Flask.

Getting started

The webserver communicates to the matching engine through RabbitMQ, which can be most easily run using docker:

docker run -d --rm \
    --name "rabbitmq" \
    -p 5672:5672 \
    -p 15672:15672 \
    rabbitmq:3-management

Both the webserver and the matching engine reads from and writes to a SQL database, which by default is a SQLite located in /tmp/chives.sqlite. To initialize the database schema:

python -m chives initdb

Run the webserver and matching engine in two separate processes. Make sure that the matching engine is not erroring out because of failure to connect to RabbitMQ.

python -m chives start_engine
python -m chives webserver

You can now follow the demo here to try it out.
