Why Build on Meridian

Focus on what you're uniquely good at. We handle the rest.

The Problem You Know Too Well

You spend up to 40% of engineering on per-client integration -- custom connectors, bespoke onboarding, one-off maintenance per customer. Every new client means another deployment, another set of credentials, another support contract.

Your domain expertise is what clients pay for. But most of your team's time goes to plumbing.

The integration tax

Build. Deploy. Customize. Repeat. For every single client.

With Meridian

Build your plugin once against a well-defined SDK contract. The sidecar handles messaging, access control, state recovery, and deployment. You focus on your domain expertise — the thing that makes your software valuable.

Meridian acts as a facilitator between you and the firms that need your tools. We provide the infrastructure that makes your plugin work inside any deployment — you maintain the direct relationship with your users.

Build once, deploy anywhere

Your plugin ships as a container image. The platform handles lifecycle, health monitoring, and recovery. You write domain logic -- nothing more.

What Meridian Provides

  • SDK + dev environment -- scaffold, build, and test locally with zero infrastructure
  • Automated test suite -- comprehensive conformance, security, and compatibility testing
  • Institutional-grade infrastructure -- event sourcing, settlement tracking, lot lifecycle, reconciliation, compliance — capabilities that would take years to build alone
  • Deployment flexibility -- your plugin runs on-prem, in cloud, or managed — wherever your users need it
  • Co-marketing -- certified plugins get featured placement and joint announcements

What You Own

  • Your plugin code and IP -- your code stays yours, always
  • Your user relationships -- direct access to the firms using your plugin
  • Your pricing and terms -- you decide how your plugin is offered
  • Your update schedule -- ship new versions when you're ready
  • Domain-specific support -- you support your users, we support the platform

Who This Is For

  • Open-source developers building financial tools who want institutional reach without building infrastructure
  • Fintech vendors tired of per-client integration work
  • Data providers who want their feeds inside trading workflows, not just research notebooks
  • Quant teams with proprietary analytics that could serve a broader audience
