How would any cloud offering deal with something like, say, the full options data feed, which is close to 40 Gb/s of binary packed goodies? You need both a very fat pipe and ultra-low latency: does the cloud, any cloud, offer that? Also: how often have you guys seen the stock market being down? What's the "x nines" availability of, say, the US stock market and US options feed? Now: do we wanna talk about the various cloud outages that made the news? Sometimes lasting hours? Also what I've seen with the cloud is websites are now displaying spinners everywhere, for the myriad of not-low-latency-at-all microservices often taking seconds to respond. And that'd be on an ultra low latency fiber to the home setup, with 2 Gb/s down (and the ISP really supporting that). Why the heck do I have to wait seconds for oh-so-many things to display in my browser, on a last gen Ryzen ultra-speedy machine, with a super fat and low-latency Internet pipe? The worst offenders being all those banking websites showing a balance of 0 instead of "-" or "n/a" while fetching my info: nearly gives me heart attack every single time. I take it it has to do with micro-services all contacting shitloads of other micro-services, all living in the not-low-latency cloud. The problem being compounded by an army, a generation, of programmers who have never learned anything about optimization or latency and who solve every problem they have with the only hammer they have: the cloud. All these programmers know are JSON (or, worse, XML)... I mean: JSON vs 40 Gbit/s of interrupted bit-packed binary feeds? How could these two world ever reconcile? Now I don't do HFT but I do trade options and I do it through a desktop app and that app also offers an API through which I can fetch prices, send orders, etc. It's a good old Java app. And it's more advanced than any website I've ever used. Can we please not enshittify everything with countless micro-services and JSON files in the cloud?
