Key Highlights
- To ensure traders are not left stranded during such incidents, Zerodha has created a WhatsApp-based backup system that operates independently of its main infrastructure.
- Kite’s web and mobile platforms rely on Cloudflare for security screening and DDoS protection.
- Every order placed by a user travels through the internet and is routed via Cloudflare before reaching Zerodha’s systems hosted on AWS.
- Once processed, orders are transmitted to Zerodha’s order management system housed in physical data centres directly linked to stock exchanges.
- A Cloudflare disruption can therefore briefly block access to the platform even though Zerodha’s internal systems remain functional.
