Overview

Speed isn't your problem. Unpredictability is.Most low latency trading systems don't fail because they're slow. They fail because they are fast sometimes-and dangerously late when it matters most. Teams chase microseconds in code while ignoring the deeper reality: latency is an emergent property of trading system architecture, operating systems, networks, hardware, and design decisions made long before the first line of code ships. If you work on real trading infrastructure, you've felt this painYou optimize hot paths, yet financial systems performance barely improves. Benchmarks look great, but production tells a different story. Latency spikes appear under load, volatility, or partial failure-and no one can explain why. You suspect the problem isn't ""slow code,"" but the entire systems architecture performance model is flawed. Latency by Design gives you the missing frameworkThis book reframes latency as a systems design problem, not a coding contest. Instead of isolated tuning tricks, you'll learn high performance systems design principles used by teams that build trading platforms able to remain fast, stable, and predictable under real market stress. Drawing from real-world performance engineering for trading, the book connects software, OS behavior, networking, and hardware into a single, coherent mental model. Inside the book, you'll learn how to: Design end-to-end real time system architecture, from market event to exchange acknowledgment Apply latency optimization engineering without creating fragile systems Build and enforce latency budgets that survive real-world drift Control variance using tail latency analysis, not misleading averages Understand distributed systems latency and where it actually accumulates Evaluate and redesign trading system architecture with clarity and confidence This is not a recipe book. It's a way of thinking.Latency by Design is written for engineers and architects responsible for systems where microseconds carry real risk. It teaches you how to reason about performance under uncertainty-and how to design systems that remain understandable, defensible, and reliable over time. Stop chasing microseconds. Start designing systems that win.
