Summary

The first section of this chapter focused on analyzing the latency metrics we added to our electronic trading systems in the previous chapter. We discussed a few examples of latency measurements for internal functions, as well as a few examples of latency measurements between critical hops in our system. The goal was to understand the distribution of latencies in different cases so that you understand how to identify and investigate areas of potential problems or optimization opportunities.

In the second section of this chapter, we discussed a few tips and techniques regarding how to approach potential performance optimization possibilities. We presented a few examples of what could be improved and discussed the performance problems that exist in the current design and solutions to those problems.

In the concluding section, we described a roadmap for the future of the electronic trading ecosystem we built in this book. We discussed several different components, sub-components...
