Prerequisites

Paper Trading Only (Self-managed)

Distributed Self-managed AWS deployments only support paper trading (mode: paper in broker descriptor). For live trading, you must use a Datafye Managed deployment provisioned by Datafye Ops. Contact Datafye to request a managed deployment for live trading.

Use Cases

AWS Trading Environment deployments are ideal for:

  • Production-scale paper trading - Always-on paper trading with cloud resources

  • Team collaboration - Shared paper trading environment

  • Pre-live validation - Final testing before requesting live deployment

  • High-availability paper trading - Distributed infrastructure for reliability

Deployment Model

These commands create Distributed Self-managed deployments, where:

  • You provision infrastructure in your own AWS account

  • You manage and pay for all AWS resources

  • Datafye provides the software and orchestration

  • Only paper trading is supported

For live trading, you'll need a Datafye Managed deployment. Datafye Ops provisions and manages the infrastructure, ensuring compliance and reliability for live capital. Contact Datafye to request managed deployment.
