SMC Global Securities partnered with AWS to modernize their retail trading infrastructure by building a high-performance financial data distribution system with the following key characteristics:

  • Uses AWS Transit Gateway to enable multicast networking for real-time market data feeds
  • Processes 100K+ messages per second from multiple stock exchanges with zero downtime
  • Implemented multi-threaded processing for high throughput and data accuracy
  • Developed sophisticated WebSocket connection management for scalable real-time data broadcasting
  • Achieved approximately 60% improvement in system latency
