Low-Latency Trading Infrastructure
The plumbing under an HFT stack - how components talk (WebSocket, FIX, gRPC, Aeron), messaging on Aeron and Zig, and a C++ FIX/FAST scalper.
Data Communication in Algo Trading Systems: A Technology Overview
We analyze communication technologies at all levels of an algorithmic trading platform: from exchange connectivity protocols (REST, WebSocket, FIX) to internal IPC, message brokers, and data stores.
Aeron: Inside the Messaging System That Powers Half of the HFT Industry
A deep dive into Aeron - the messaging system from Real Logic for high-frequency trading. Transport, Archive, Cluster, Sequencer. What's inside, how it works, and where the bottlenecks are.
ZigBolt: Why We Built Our Own Aeron in Zig and Hit 20 Nanoseconds Per Message
How and why we built an ultra-low-latency messaging system for HFT from scratch in Zig. No JVM, no GC, no surprises. SPSC ring buffer at 20 ns, IPC at 30 ns, codec at 0 ns. With benchmarks.
