Where we come from
Aperiodic started on our own systematic trading desk. We began in macro, moved to crypto, and needed market data we could trust in a backtest.
Over the years we tried nearly every data provider in crypto. The raw tick archives had everything, plus months of engineering between you and your first regression. With the polished vendors, you met a salesperson before you met the data. So we built our own pipeline, first for our desk, then for partner institutions.
In March 2025 we opened it to everyone: the same data we built for ourselves, with a free preview of every dataset that downloads with one command and no key.

Why it’s hard
Exchanges close every websocket within a day. We stream each feed on two machines at once and keep the first copy of every message.
We spot duplicates without parsing each message, where the exchange makes that possible, and put stragglers back in order inside a short window.
Atlas, our open-source security master, matches the same asset across a dozen exchanges, every day.
Our pipeline closes each window on the time the data reached us, not the time the exchange printed on it.
The engine saves its state every 10 seconds and never publishes half a window. After a crash it picks up from the last save.
A changed metric ships as a new version beside the old one, and the old one keeps computing exactly what it did.
