How Do You Upgrade a Market That Can't Stop Trading?

Prediction markets don't close. There's no end-of-day batch, no weekend maintenance window, and no tolerance for a venue that pauses while its infrastructure catches up. Yet the systems behind these markets still have to be upgraded, scaled and recovered while trades keep flowing.

Recorded live at NEXTPredict 2026 in New York, this panel brings together Redpanda and Connamara to talk through what it takes to run and change the data infrastructure underneath an always-on market.

Watch the recording to hear the panel discuss:

• Why continuous trading breaks the "schedule the downtime" upgrade model
• How exchange operators approach rolling upgrades, capacity changes and failover without pausing the market
• Where streaming data infrastructure fits in the exchange and matching-engine stack
• Lessons from building and operating exchange platforms for prediction markets

The recording runs about 30 minutes.
