Deploying code to a live trading bot without stopping it sounds like an ops trick. It's actually a fundamental question about what your system is allowed to forget.
Most systems can afford a restart. A trading bot executing real capital every 5 minutes cannot. Here's the architecture that makes zero-downtime deployment possible without losing state, missing signals, or risking capital mid-update.
Stopping a live trading bot to deploy code is not a deployment strategy — it's a risk management failure. Here's how I solved it.
Most trading bots treat deployment like a surgery that requires general anesthesia. Foresight doesn't go under anymore. Here's the architecture that made that possible.
Stopping a live trading bot to deploy code is the same as stopping a surgeon mid-operation to sharpen a scalpel. Here's how I built hot reload into an active money-trading system.
