Customer
A top Asia-Pacific commodity derivatives exchange. Trading infrastructure is the product: latency, integrity, and continuous readiness of the core data and analytics plane.
-
Challenge
Platform stability and operational excellence on the exchange’s core data and analytics infrastructure.
Kafka, ClickHouse, Kafka Connect (including custom connectors), and Flink had to hold under market load. Performance ghosts—including JMX heisenbugs—and a mixed bare-metal / container topology made “best effort” ops a liability.
-
Work
Owned platform stability and operational excellence for the core estate. Heavy performance work, including several JMX heisenbugs. Deep infrastructure tuning across bare metal and containers. Operating cadence and remediation that drove incident count down and held a four-nines availability target.
-
Impact
- Incidents reduced from 81 in the preceding quarter to zero
- 99.99% availability on the core data & analytics platform
- Performance and infra tuning across Kafka, ClickHouse, Connect, and Flink—bare metal and containers
