The FAST Protocol is a protocol for compressing message-oriented data streams. Originally designed as a streaming version of the Financial Information Exchange (FIX) protocol suitable for market data, it has applications in non-FIX applications and outside of financial services because of its ability to customize its compression for a specific domain without writing custom code.
The class provides:
- A general introduction of the FAST protocol, suitable for developers, business analysts, and managers
- An in-depth understanding of the encoding and decoding operators used by the FAST protocol
- Strategies for designing templates describing FAST messages.
