Part 10/12:
These techniques help ensure real-time data reaches end-user devices with minimal delay, avoiding unnecessary hops and congestions.
Progressive optimizations in network stack help sustain over 90% of price ticks delivered within 200 ms.
Key Takeaways and Best Practices
The engineer emphasizes several principles that underpin their success:
Simplicity over complexity: Avoid overengineering; simple systems with clear responsibilities are easier to maintain and scale.
Fallback readiness: Always build robust fallback mechanisms to prevent data loss or system downtime.
Resource-efficient optimization: Use profiling tools to identify bottlenecks, optimize data serialization, and resource lock usage.
