Adaptive’s Aeron on Google Cloud: 4.7 million MPS
Adaptive recently revealed the outcomes of their performance assessment of Aeron technology on Google Cloud. This testing highlighted the potential of leveraging Aeron technology alongside Google Cloud to achieve high performance and scalability in capital markets.
Aeron technology is widely used in the financial services sector for constructing trading systems that require microsecond latency and millisecond recovery times. The tests conducted on Google Cloud infrastructure revealed that Aeron can achieve a sub-20 microsecond performance level, with a throughput capacity of up to 4.7 million messages per second.
The performance testing involved Aeron Transport for messaging and Aeron Cluster for continuous, zero-downtime trading systems. With the addition of Aeron Premium, the system’s performance, security, fault tolerance, and recovery capabilities were further enhanced. The tests utilized a variety of Google Cloud services, including C3 instance types and diverse storage options.
Key findings from the testing showed significant improvements in latency and throughput when utilizing Aeron Premium components. Latency for messaging dropped to 18 microseconds from 57 microseconds with the open-source version of Aeron, and throughput increased six-fold to 4.7 million messages per second. For Aeron Cluster, latency was reduced to 36 microseconds from 109 microseconds, with throughput exceeding 250,000 messages per second while maintaining a latency under one millisecond.
