Case Study: Windsor Brokers improves real-time trading performance and user experience with Amazon Web Services

Windsor Brokers Scales its Real-Time Trading Platform and Improves User Experience Using AWS

Windsor Brokers, an online trading platform serving customers in 80 countries, needed to improve platform performance and user experience while supporting near-real-time trading across 200+ financial instruments. Its infrastructure was spread across multiple environments, making low-latency, always-on service difficult. The company chose Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the AWS Migration Acceleration Program to consolidate its applications and more than 170 servers.

With Amazon Web Services, Windsor Brokers completed the migration in about 8 months and moved to a cloud setup that scales automatically with demand. The new environment uses services such as Amazon EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, and Elastic Load Balancing to improve responsiveness and reliability, helping the platform stay available and support near-real-time trading. The move also increased developer productivity by reducing infrastructure maintenance and allowing teams to focus on innovation.
