This course covers nontraditional approaches and architectural patterns for building systems with high availability, high throughput, and low latency, particularly focusing on large-scale trading systems. Students will learn about handling hundreds of thousands of business events per second, reacting to business transactions, and distributing data to concurrent users efficiently. The course teaches about patterns such as synchronous and asynchronous transaction registrations, eventual consistency, scalability resilience, and graceful failure. The intended audience for this course includes developers, architects, and engineers interested in designing scalable and available systems, especially in the context of trading systems.
