Live Virtual Workshop: Designing Resilient Financial Systems for Real-Time Scale
Register NowFinancial systems operate under strict latency and correctness constraints where failure is rarely binary. Under load, latency spikes and slow dependencies can quickly amplify into retry storms, cascading failures, and inconsistent outcomes. Systems do not stop. They degrade. The challenge is maintaining correct and predictable behaviour during degradation without sacrificing performance in the happy path.
In this 90-minute workshop, we explore how to design systems that achieve both high performance and resilience, and how controlled degradation (brownout) helps keep critical flows within SLA while preventing failures from cascading across the system.
We will cover:
- Real-time architectures for continuous data processing and time-sensitive decision-making at scale
- Performance optimisation through data locality to reduce latency and dependency on external systems
- Scalable system design that preserves correctness under load
- Failure and recovery strategies through controlled degradation
- Observability and operations to monitor system health and adapt in real time
Through live demos, we show how Hazelcast can be used as an embedded active data and execution layer, enabling low-latency access to operational state, co-located compute, and adaptive coordination in the flow of execution.
The outcome is a practical set of patterns for building financial systems that maximise performance during normal operation and handle failures gracefully while maintaining correctness and a consistent user experience.
Who should attend:
Architects, principal engineers, technical leads, and platform teams building resilient, low-latency financial systems.
