Using our cloud API you will be able to create a Bitcoin exchange that executes trades in real-time without having to manage any servers. This is perfect for startups since you don't have to pay for anything. However, everything is open source, so if you do want to use your own hardware that's possible too. This will be an extension of our real-time wallet API that is already available at
https://bitlab.co/wallet (Source Code:
https://github.com/bitlabco/bitlab-wallet).
You can read more about what makes our API so awesome at
http://firebase.com/ or read the developer guide at
https://bitlab.co/docs. We also have a sandbox at
https://bitlab.co/sandbox that uses testnet, just in case you don't want to use real money.
More source code will be released soon. Feedback or questions are always welcome! Follow us on Twitter
