The evidence-led FIX protocol engine

LibHFT

The shortest, most defensible path from FIX message to market.

LibHFT is a low-latency FIX engine family for C++, Java, .NET and Rust, built by Atrekes, with dated, reproducible benchmark evidence. Its documentation, benchmarks and guides have their own home: libhft.com.

LibHFT: source, evidence, operations Actual source and Workbench UI; deterministic local GUI fixture; published benchmark scope shown in film.

Film produced 19 October 2026. The Rust scene is Rust Pure's own session-engine source; the figures, shown and spoken, are the HP reference campaign: response time at 50,000 requests per second, TCPDirect 4.702 µs at p50. Reference results: HP, 19–20 September 2026 Rust Pure and the other flavors

Language surfaces

C++, Java Pure, Java/JNI, .NET Pure, .NET Native, and Rust Pure.

Tail evidence

Measured transport results and percentile markers stay tied to the stated benchmark setup.

Visible operations

The read-only Workbench makes fleet health, session state and conformance evidence inspectable locally.

What LibHFT is

Six flavors. One FIX engine family.

Pick a native engine, an independent managed engine or a managed API over the C++ core. Every flavor shares the same tracked session behaviors and typed FIX messages; libhft.com documents where each one’s behavior and transport ownership actually live.
