Case Study: Silvertide boosts financial data performance with Timescale

Silvertide Financial is a specialized brokerage firm that provides institutional clients with optimized access to the derivatives market, focusing on delivering insightful trading strategies

Silvertide Financial, a London-based financial brokerage, needed a better way to manage and analyze large financial datasets for trading strategy analysis, market risk assessment, and back-testing. Its existing setup, centered on SQL Server and Excel, struggled with slow data retrieval, limited scalability, and difficulty handling complex analytics across extensive historical data.

By moving to Timescale’s fully managed PostgreSQL solution, TimescaleDB on AWS, Silvertide improved data retrieval speed, enabled real-time analytics, and reduced data management complexity. Timescale’s compression and hypertable features helped the firm scale more efficiently, streamline back-testing, and deliver faster insights to institutional clients, improving performance without added overhead.
