Aeron Integration

Ultra-low latency messaging with Aeron for trading infrastructure. We build systems that deliver sub-18 microsecond latency at over 1M messages per second using IPC, UDP transport, Raft-based clustering, and persistent message archiving.

Aeron Integration for Trading Infrastructure

The Architecture

Aeron is a high-performance messaging library designed for low-latency, high-throughput communication. We integrate Aeron into trading systems where predictable sub-microsecond performance and fault-tolerant clustering are non-negotiable requirements.

Aeron Transport

The core messaging layer supports IPC (inter-process communication) for same-host services and UDP unicast/multicast for cross-network messaging. Zero-copy design eliminates serialisation overhead in the hot path.

  • IPC via shared memory (mmap)
  • UDP unicast and multicast
  • Zero-copy message passing
  • Back-pressure and flow control

Aeron Cluster

Raft-based consensus for fault-tolerant, strongly-consistent state machines. Leader election, log replication, and automatic failover ensure your trading services remain available even under node failure.

  • Raft consensus protocol
  • Deterministic state machines
  • Automatic leader election
  • Snapshotting and log compaction

Aeron Archive

Persistent message recording and replay for audit trails, disaster recovery, and new node catch-up. Recorded streams can be replayed at arbitrary positions for backtesting or state reconstruction.

  • Persistent stream recording
  • Position-based replay
  • Bounded and unbounded replays
  • Segment file management

Media Driver & Infrastructure

The Media Driver manages ring buffers, conductors, and network I/O. Combined with kernel bypass (DPDK, ef_vi), CPU pinning, and thread affinity tuning, we achieve consistent sub-18 microsecond latency at the 99th percentile.

  • Ring buffer management
  • Kernel bypass (DPDK / ef_vi)
  • CPU pinning and thread affinity
  • Counters-based monitoring
