Case Study: BIDS Trading achieves sub-millisecond trading performance with Azul Systems

Engineers now spend less than 1% of their time on performance tuning

BIDS Trading needed sub-millisecond performance for its trading platform, but Java garbage collection pauses were hurting latency and creating a challenge in a system closely scrutinized by customers and third parties. BIDS Trading turned to Azul Systems and its Azul Prime Java runtime to address the performance issues.

Azul Systems implemented Azul Prime to reduce GC-related stalls and improve runtime consistency. As a result, BIDS Trading dramatically improved platform performance and cut the engineering time spent on GC tuning and workarounds by 95%, letting the team spend less than 1% of its time on performance maintenance.
