10+ years ago I worked on a trading system that was generating something like 1TB/day of messaging. As we hit these levels we asked them - how many trades are we even doing on this system? The answer was something on the order of.. 50. Granted it was a bond system and the nationals are huge, but theres just no reason to store 20GB per trade. These are the kinds of decisions that get made when one team is responsible for message generation and the other is responsible for the storage, lol. We then had to work backwards with them to unwind a lot of the INFO level chatty messaging between what you'd now call "microservices" and reduce the volume by 90+%. |
