Case Study: LMAX Exchange achieves accurate, accessible customer trading data with Percona Support

LMAX Exchange Uses Percona Support to Provide Accurate, Accessible Customer Trading Data

LMAX Exchange, a leading multilateral trading facility for foreign exchange and a fast-growing UK fintech, needed to deliver complete pre- and post-trade transparency, exchange-quality execution and microsecond-level latency while keeping tens of millions of daily transactions’ customer data reliable, searchable and available anywhere, anytime.

LMAX adopted a hybrid architecture—an ultra-fast in-memory core for immediate market responses backed by a Percona MySQL data store for readable long-term storage—and engaged Percona for a Database Performance Audit, configuration and XtraDB Cluster replication, plus ongoing support. Implementing Percona’s recommendations improved communication between stores, optimized performance and high availability, produced response times that met customer expectations, and gave LMAX continuous expert support and operational peace of mind.
