Industry Challenges

Financial infrastructure demands a level of observability most tools can't deliver

Trading platforms, core banking systems, and payment rails operate at speeds and scales where standard monitoring leaves dangerous blind spots.

Sub-millisecond Latency Sensitivity

A 1 ms spike in order routing can mean slippage, rejected trades, or regulatory scrutiny. You need latency visibility at the microsecond level across every hop.

Regulatory Compliance (DORA, PCI DSS)

The Digital Operational Resilience Act, PCI DSS, and Basel III demand documented ICT risk management, immutable incident logs, and demonstrable RTO/RPO.

Market-hours Availability

Core banking and trading systems must maintain 99.99 %+ uptime during market hours. Planned maintenance windows are shrinking — often to seconds.

Data Residency & Sovereignty

Cross-border financial data flows are restricted. Your observability data must stay in the same jurisdiction as your production workloads.

Platform Capabilities

Built for the speed and compliance requirements of modern finance

obseria.io delivers full-stack observability — traces, metrics, logs, and AI correlation — at the performance and compliance level financial institutions require.

Microsecond Latency Tracing

End-to-end distributed tracing with nanosecond-resolution timestamps. Identify the exact hop where order latency degrades — from FIX gateway to matching engine to settlement.

Transaction Flow Monitoring

Real-time visibility into payment flows, FX transactions, and order books. Detect stuck transactions, settlement failures, and processing bottlenecks before they cascade.

DORA-ready Incident Logging

Immutable, tamper-evident incident records with automated RTO/RPO calculation. Export DORA-compliant ICT incident reports in minutes, not days.

Anomaly Detection for Fraud

Adaptive ML baselines flag statistically anomalous transaction patterns — unusual volumes, geographic outliers, velocity spikes — for your fraud and security teams.

Multi-region Data Residency

Deploy obseria.io in each regulatory jurisdiction independently. EU data stays in the EU, US data in the US — with a unified control plane that never crosses borders.

SLA & Throughput Tracking

Real-time SLA burn-rate dashboards for every critical service. Get paged before an SLA breach, not after — with burn-rate alerts tailored to market hours.

Use Cases

Across every layer of financial infrastructure

Trading & Capital Markets

Low-latency Order Flow Observability

Track every microsecond from order receipt to execution confirmation. Correlate FIX message logs, matching engine metrics, and network telemetry into a single latency waterfall — and alert when any segment drifts from baseline.

Sub-ms order routing latency tracked
FIX / FAST / SBE protocol support
Automated latency regression detection
Retail & Core Banking

Core Banking System Reliability

Monitor transaction processors, account ledgers, and API gateways in real time. Detect slow database queries, queue backlogs, and downstream service degradation before they impact customers or trigger regulatory notifications.

< 100 ms API latency budgets tracked
Queue depth & consumer lag alerts
Automated DORA incident classification
Payments & Fintech

Payment Rail & Gateway Monitoring

End-to-end visibility across payment processors, card networks, and open-banking APIs. Detect authorization rate drops, timeout spikes, and settlement failures in real time — with automated runbook execution for common failure modes.

Transaction Anomaly Detection

Catch issues in the order flow before customers do

obseria.io's adaptive ML baselines learn normal throughput, latency, and error patterns for every endpoint — and surface deviations with root-cause context, not just raw metric dumps.
