Use Cases

No Infrastructure​

Running a broker means dedicated servers that need to be managed, patched and paid for.

To have a proper highly available setup you would need:

  • Multiple brokers behind a load balancer.
  • Multiple nodes behind a load balancer.
  • A monitoring system.
  • DDoS protection when publicly available.

BaaS takes care of all of this for you.

No Broker Maintenance​

On top of keeping the servers running, the broker software itself needs updating whenever a new version is released, which costs time and can cause downtime.

BaaS follows releases closely and updates everything for you without downtime.

Commission Protection​

On the native broker endpoint, the broker fee is part of the payload the client sends, so a user can change it. Calling it from a browser is therefore not safe.

BaaS adds a layer above the native broker that sets your broker fee automatically, which makes it safe to integrate in your web application. The same layer provides DDoS protection and a simpler integration for frontend developers.
